The 31st season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ reality show will feature Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler as coaches leading their respective teams in a competition that will culminate in a fight between the two fighters. McGregor, a renowned UFC fighter, is expected to bring his expertise to the show, while Chandler is set to showcase his own unique coaching style. The news of the upcoming bout has garnered praise from fellow UFC fighter Tony Ferguson, who took to social media to commend both McGregor and Chandler.
Michael Chandler will finally get his chance at a fight with Conor McGregor. He had been rallying for this fight for a long time. The ‘Notorious’, on the other hand, would look to win his comeback fight and get himself into championship contention right away.
Michael Chandler was rumored earlier to be on the opposite end of McGregor in TUFC 31. However, UFC president Dana White went on to announce his inclusion instead. However, this does not seem to have left a bitter taste in the mouth of ‘El Cucuy’. He acknowledged the two fighters and paid his due in a post on Twitter.

Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor are two of the most popular names in the UFC. They have never fought each other but have a longstanding beef with each other. Moreover, the 39-year-old has suffered consecutive losses in his last five fights. It has almost been four years since he last won a fight. We’ll have to wait and see when he decides to return to the octagon.
