Michael Chandler has already proven that he has a spectacular team with him in the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter. His opposing Team Conor McGregor has been suffering loss after loss. Now Team Chandler has a whopping six victories to none for Team McGregor. In the latest episode of TUF, McGregor went forward with his toughest fighter but still failed to make a mark. This edition of The Ultimate Fighter saw Kurt Holobaugh from Team Chandler lock horns with Lee Hammond.

He hardly expected the season to turn out totally against him. Even though his team members have greatly disappointed him, McGregor is still taking care of them.
