Former UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is making his long awaited UFC comeback. In addition, McGregor will make his UFC comeback after his horrific leg break as a coach in the upcoming TUF season 31. He will be coaching against Michael Chandler and in pure Conor McGregor fashion, there is controversy. Furthermore, there are rumors that McGregor is playing favorites in choosing his team by picking a few fighters of his choice over UFC’s recommendation or choice.

BJJ GOAT Gordon Ryan shared his vision for TUF, proposing that he coaches Michael Chandler while Danis coaches Conor McGregor. He envisions a post-McGregor vs. Chandler fight where the two coaches face each other in a UFC Fight Pass event. However, he has doubts about Danis, whether he will show up or not.

In response to the controversy surrounding McGregor’s coaching style, he has denied cutting any fighters to select his preferred combatants. However, fans and experts are not convinced by it. Recently, a UFC champion shared his thoughts on the whole controversy.

While he sees no harm in it, he feels bad for the fighters being left out. He said, “And honestly I feel like that was super crappy for the guys who had their hopes set on getting another opportunity to fight for the UFC.”

“Or getting the opportunity to get into the UFC and now having that stripped away from them. Really shitty change of events.“, he further added.

He read from a text or an article that McGregor showed up to where TUF shooting is going on. Moreover, he was with three of his guys, who were replacing three who were already part of the team.

Sterling, on the contrary, understands Conor McGregor choosing favorites

The UFC bantamweight champion acknowledges that Conor McGregor comes with a package. He comes with a list of demands, so for his guys it’s great. Sterling is cool with the opportunity being presented to McGregor’s team.

He said, “So, you know, no hate for those guys like you guys did what you had to do you got to worry about yourself, you’re number one. But I just feel gutted for those guys who were looking forward to this opportunity and had it stripped away by one of the coaches.”

However, he empathizes with the guys who are left out. Moreover, he understands that this puts them in a bad situation. Yet it doesn’t stop him from getting excited for the Conor McGregor Vs Michael Chandler matchup.
