While Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler is expected to take place later in the year, they are up against each other as coaches at the 31st edition of TUF. The structure of the show states that the mentors will square off in the end, and before them, a total of 8 fighters from both teams will take on each other. The UFC-produced series has started and in the first episode, Team Conor received a major setback.

Conor McGregor on coaching at TUF 31

“Me committing to coaching a class and coaching a couple of people, it almost forced me to dial in a bit more,” McGregor told Megan Olivi for ESPN.  “I had to think about the technique. I had to think about what way I was gonna teach, what I was gonna teach, why I was teaching it. And it just allowed me to actually get better. 

“I suppose the hardest part is seeing the potential that these young guys could have. And then it’s already over, almost, I suppose (when they lose). I’m happy, the guys are happy, and I’m sure there’ll be more opportunities.”
