“That’s A Nose Breaker” Conor McGregor Teaches His Irish Teammates The Staple Of Boxing

Episode 6 of The Ultimate Fighter season 31 saw a dramatic showdown. Team McGregor’s Lee Hammond went against Michael Chandler’s Kurt Holobaugh. The season has not been that great for Conor McGregor. He seems to be quite desperate to secure his team’s first win in the books.

The bout between Hammond and Holobaugh saw highs and lows, as the former was impressive in the first round. However, the Irish fighter was met with a guillotine choke in the next round and tapped out.

Meanwhile, the reality series showed ‘The Notorious’, training his team in the basics of boxing.

A big hand uppercut! Conor McGregor trains his teammates on the essentials of boxing

Long-time teammates McGregor and Hammond are from the same Irish district and have been training together for a long time now. A snippet from the sixth episode of TUF31 shows ‘The Notorious’ familiarizing Lee Hammond with a combination called, “the nose-breaker.” Conor can be seen saying, “Let me see the big back upper hand and then the three.” 

He then goes on to demonstrate a few moves that Lee could do if the opponent came at him.

McGregor was impressed with Hammond’s performance as he said, “Lee, that was a f***ing flawless performance.” Calling Holobaugh’s win lucky, Conor added, “He got lucky there. Head up. I’m proud of you mate. It happens. He didn’t land one shot on you, you were absolutely timing him.” However, the episode also features Conor McGregor taking shots at Michael Chandler as the frustration of his sixth loss got to him.

McGregor told Chandler, “Some of these kids were in the UFC before you were in the UFC.” Seemingly a jibe at the fact that Chandler’s team encompasses UFC veterans, while Conor is training newbies.

While the rivalry between the teams will continue, it remains to be seen whether Conor’s team can find their first win of the season. Episode 7 of The Ultimate Fighter will see lightweights Jason Knight and Landon Quinones face off.
