The UFC world was feeling the McGregor-shaped void for over a year, but now the Notorious is back! The Ultimate Fighter Season 31, featuring Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler has started airing, with 3 episodes already released. After a long hiatus due to a gruesome leg break suffered in his last fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, McGregor is making his comeback in a new role that has fans buzzing with excitement.

The Notorious’ appearance as a TUF coach is the first step towards reclaiming his spot in the UFC. In the latest episode of TUF 31, fans saw McGregor spar with his teammates. Moreover, the Irishman’s instructions to his teams were very fascinating to hear.

The sparring session showcased not only McGregor’s coaching skills but also his infectious enthusiasm. As the punches flew, the former double champ couldn’t resist breaking into song, belting out “Oh happy days, ohh happy days” with a smile on his face. His message to his team was clear: enjoy what you do, keep a positive mindset, and have fun in the process.

“Sing a song in your head lads. We are doing what we f*cking love here. We are here. Put a smile on your face. Keep your wits about you, go and have fun.”

This small yet crucial moment gave fans a minor glimpse into McGregor’s fight mentality. The Irishman knows how to win at mental warfare even before the physical fight starts, and he has shown that in the octagon countless times. During his active era, McGregor could be seen trash-talking, smiling, and intimidating his opponents with his in-ring behavior. Even on a 2-fight losing streak, nobody can discount the Irishman for his mental resilience.

Is the McGregor charm not the same as the years gone by?

When Dana White announced Conor McGregor as one of the coaches in TUF Season 31, the MMA world lit up. Fans expected this season to be one of the most successful ones. However, things do not seem to be going in that direction.

According to MMA Fighting, TUF 22, which was McGregor’s first outing as a coach, had 622,000 average viewers. On the other hand, TUF 31 has just been able to pile up 294,000 average viewers.
