Conor McGregor remains resilient despite his challenges on The Ultimate Fighter 31.
During the recent episode of the longstanding UFC reality show, McGregor’s protege Lee Hammond from SBG Ireland suffered an unexpected defeat against seasoned veteran Kurt Holobaugh. This loss contributed to Team McGregor’s winless streak, standing at 0-6 for the season.
Amidst rising tensions, McGregor and Chandler found themselves face to face inside the cage after the fight. This confrontation, which had been teased prior to the season’s start, escalated when McGregor forcefully pushed Chandler, leading UFC President Dana White to swiftly intervene.
While a future fight between McGregor and Chandler is anticipated, the bout’s confirmation is uncertain due to McGregor’s pending re-enrollment in the USADA drug testing program and a recent allegation of sexual assault.
Following the broadcast of Tuesday’s TUF 31 episode, McGregor took to Twitter to share a concise voice message, in which he mockingly imitated Chandler’s reaction to the shove.
“‘Oh, so we’re going to do this?'” McGregor mimicked Chandler’s words. “‘We’re going to fight right now? We’re going to fight right now? We’re actually going to do this? We’re going to fight right now?'”
McGregor’s next fight is eagerly anticipated, marking his return to action since his leg injury in July 2021 during a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. Since 2016, the former two-division UFC champion has only secured one victory.
