Things are starting to heat up on ‘The Ultimate Fighter 31’ as Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler recently had a heated altercation. However, ‘The Notorious’ wasn’t going to stop there. The former UFC double champion took to social media to mock the former Bellator champion.
Conor McGregor is having a horrible season on TUF this time out. His team of prospects is still struggling to get one victory as Michael Chandler’s prospects dominated their opponents with a 6-0 lead. Now, things have escalated to another level. Animosity is brewing up between the two. McGregor took a jibe at ‘Iron’, claiming that some of the fighters came to the UFC before Chandler, following which he shoved the 5th-ranked lightweight fighter. Chandler was ready to fight. However, the TUF competitors tried to stop things from escalating any further. Even Dana White had to get inside the cage to calm things down.
After the incident on the 6th episode of TUF 31, the Irishman shared a voice clip on Twitter, mocking Michael Chandler. He said, “Oh, we’re gonna do this? We’re gonna fight right now? You wanna fight right now? Oh, we’re gonna do this? You wanna fight right now?” It amused the fans as they shared reactions to the post on Twitter.
