Conor McGregor Breaks Silence After Dana White Lashed Out at TUF 31’s Production Team’s “Dangerous” Challenge for Irishman and Michael Chandler

The heat between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler is soaring as they battle it out on the set of The Ultimate Fighter S31. This time, the temperature dipped instead of escalating as both engaged in an amusing tussle. The two fighters locked horns in a battle of wits while being submerged in the frigid 39-degree ice bathtub. The battle was unique, and some fans hand it to the production team for thinking outside the box. But UFC President Dana White was not among those.

The two TUF coaches spend a prolonged time in the freezing water of the bathtub. And if the UFC lynchpin is to be believed, that could have had adverse effects on both fighters’ bodies. Further, any injury could even result in a delayed fight between ‘The Notorious’ and ‘Iron’. “These guys did this thing for almost 30 minutes—dangerous, stupid, irresponsible, and just completely fu**ing ridiculous.” White unleashed his wrath on the team that could have cost him a record-shattering PPV bout. But where does ‘Mystic Mac’ stand on the entertaining challenge?

Conor McGregor appreciates Dana White for his concern

The 35-year-old turned to his X handle and reacted to the comments the UFC head honcho made. While he lauded the production team for their “awesome” work, he also appreciated White for looking out for him.

Thus, he wrote, “The production were fine and actually quite awesome too! It was no problem at all, but thank you Dana for looking out! All love from the tub! Catch @UltimateFighter on @espn!”

Notably, the Dubliner emerged as the victor in the battle as he edged out the former Bellator champion in the latest episode of TUF. This victory also afforded him an opportunity to launch some verbal attacks on his rival. He doubled down on his attacks as he painted a gloomy picture of Chandler during the challenge.

McGregor was about to call an ambulance for Chandler

The 22-6 record holder took a jibe at Chandler as he revealed the American fighter failed to handle the frosty water. He said, “We got into the ice bath and his jaw, it was rattling.” He continued, “He was absolutely shaking in the thing, I thought we were going to have to call an ambulance or something.”

Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are supposed to fight later this year. However, the troubles of USADA have emerged as the biggest hurdle in their long-awaited fight. But the fans remain hopeful of an electrifying fight between the two.
