Conor McGregor (22-6 MMA) and Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA) are set to coach ‘The Ultimate Fighter 31’ according to UFC President, Dana White who made the announcement this past Saturday, February 4th.

McGregor, 34, has not fought since July of 2021 at UFC 264 where he was defeated by a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier (29-7 MMA). Suffering from a broken leg, the fighter has been recuperating and training for his much-anticipated comeback.

This is not the first time the Irishman has been involved in TUF, he coached along with Uriah Faber (35-11 MMA) for The Ultimate Fighter 22 back in 2015. It will however be ‘Iron’s’ first time coaching TUF.

Chandler took to Instagram with the following post:

“My team versus his team. The competition starts right now.”

Let the games begin.

The sports betting company, ‘DraftKings’, are advising McGregor vs. Chandler opened up with even odds, with both men at -110, meaning a $110 bet would be needed on either to return $100.
