“Surprised Conor Even Agreed to This”: ‘Amazing’ Conor McGregor-TUF News Sends UFC Fans Into Frenzy

The new season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ is likely going to be very exciting. UFC Megastar Conor McGregor and veteran Tony Ferguson will be appearing in the reality TV show as coaches. It is big news for UFC fans around the world who want to have a glimpse of the world’s biggest MMA star.

Conor McGregor had previously appeared as a coach alongside Urijah Faber on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ in the 22nd season of the show. However, The Irishman failed to be on the winning side. Urijah Faber’s teammate Ryan Hall defeated McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov to claim the title of ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ But the former UFC double champion was one of the most entertaining aspects of the show.

UFC president Dana White has found a lot of success from this show since its inception in 2005. The show has produced many big-draw fighters like Nate Diaz, T.J. Dillashaw, Rose Namajunas, Michael Bisping, and even one of the coaches of the upcoming season, Tony Ferguson himself. However, the show has seemingly gone stale over the last few seasons. But the addition of Conor McGregor is sure to inject excitement among UFC fans.

The news was received positively by social media users.

Many Twitter users are excited about McGregor’s appearance in the upcoming season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ If it is true, then they will be tuning in to see the show every week. It will also help revive a show.

The Social media influencer has been busy with WWE appearances and his podcast, ‘Impaulsive.’ However, Logan Paul and Dana White recently posted a video on Instagram where they teased him about fighting in the UFC. Fans believe that the older Paul brother might appear on TUF as well. But there hasn’t been any official confirmation regarding this assumption.
