The shooting of The Ultimate Fighter 31 is currently underway and the fans might expect something sizzling from it. The latest TUF season, marred by controversies, captures the limelight for various reasons and captivates the fans’ attention. While the UFC star Conor McGregor, sticking to his brash and careless reputation, attracted criticism for having his way, he also particularly has maintained cordial relations with his rival Michael Chandler. Instead of indulging in trash-talking and irking his opponent, the Irishman treats ‘Iron’ with respect on the set. Therefore, as revealed by the insider, Michael Bisping, ‘nothing too spicy’ has transpired between the two coaches.

Notably, the UFC Hall of Famer disclosed the same as he appeared on the latest segment of his famed podcast. The Brit sat down with his co-host Anthony Smith and touched upon the freshly concluded UFC Vegas 70 and recent events in the MMA world. Further, ‘The Count’ who was also in Apex Arena for his commentator’s commitment, crossed paths with Chandler in an unlikely place.

However, the environment was not devoid of drama. Thus, the MMA fighter turned podcaster continued, “He said, you know, there’s been bits of drama, of course. That has, he said, but nothing too spicy as of yet.”

Despite this revelation, the 43-year-old host believes there was a lot to unpack because it was still early days. Lastly, Bisping insisted, “As of yet, nothing too spicy, but I mean there will be, there will be.”
