Fans will finally get the chance to see Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler go head to head this week when the pair face off on The Ultimate Fighter.
Season 31 of TUF will see promotional veterans take on younger prospects, with bantamweights and lightweights both vying for spots. The 155lb bracket will be particularly interesting for both coaches, who have been world champion at the weight, but appear to be bulking up for their showdown at the end of the year.
It is expected that at some point during this season an official announcement will be made between the pair with a date and venue for their bout later this year. But first, they will have to square off in what will be McGregor's second appearance on the show after his 2015 debut against Urijah Faber.
