Coverage of The Ultimate Fighter gets under way this week as Conor McGregor comes up against Michael Chandler in the 31st season of the show.
McGregor's pub The Black Forge Inn are premiering the show on Tuesday evening as he makes his second appearance on the MMA reality TV series following his duel with Urijah Faber in 2015.
The Dubliner had just defeated Chad Mendes to win the interim featherweight title at UFC 189.

The opposing coaches typically fight each other at the end of the UFC's top show, but that didn't happen in 2015 as the matchup was never booked.
However, despite the fact that Dana White and the UFC haven't decided on a time or venue for the fight, "The Notorious" and "Iron Mike" appear ready to square off.
McGregor hasn't fought since his trilogy fight loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021, where he broke his leg severely.
Men's bantamweight and lightweight divisions will be featured on the show.
Lee Hammond, a member of McGregor's SBG team, will be a part of the bantamweight ranks. The IMMAF world champion Hammond has an undefeated professional record of 5-0.
What TV channel is it on and can I stream it?
You can stream the action on UFC Fight Pass at 3am on Wednesday morning. However, BT Sport 3 are later televising the show on Thursday evening at 10pm.
