“You Think Conor Cares About Tuf Lol”: Conor McGregor Pre-Fight Celebration With His Teammates Followed by His 8th TUF Loss Leaves MMA Pros and Fans Divided

UFC megastar Conor McGregor was in a giving mood on the most recent episode of ‘The Ultimate Fighter 31’. He took his team out for a celebratory pre-fight dinner in Las Vegas. However, the celebrations and the good spirits couldn’t last for long as Team McGregor suffered yet another loss on TUF 31. His teammate Rico DiSciullo, who helped ‘The Notorious’ to avoid a clean sweep in the preliminary rounds, took on Cody Gibson from Michael Chandler‘s team. It was a bantamweight semifinal fight. However, this time around, DiSciullo could not get the job done. He lost via submission in the very first round.

However,  more than the loss, it seems that it is the pre-fight dinner that is in the spotlight now. Former UFC fighter Ben Askren couldn’t understand the reason behind the gesture made by the Irishman. Even fans have weighed in now to give their opinions about the dinner party. Food for thought or just cooking up a storm for nothing? Let’s find out.
