As an iconic and charismatic figure in MMA, McGregor takes on the role of a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, going head-to-head with Chandler to unearth a potential new star in the world of the sport.
McGregor’s quick wit and magnetic charisma have undeniably injected excitement, anticipation, and controversy into the show. However, when it comes to coaching skills, he has left much to be desired.
In the past weeks, Chandler’s team has been dominating the season with a series of impressive victories. As the semi-finals approached, a potential ‘clean sweep’ of eight consecutive wins for Team Chandler loomed, posing a humbling challenge for McGregor and his fighters.
On the brink of potential humiliation, Team McGregor found a lifeline through Rico Di Sciullo’s stunning knockout of Hunter Azure. Against all expectations, Di Sciullo unleashed a powerful right hand that sent Azure crashing to the canvas, followed by a crushing double-fisted hammer blow that sealed the bout in his favor.
As the fight referee announced Di Sciullo’s victory, the notorious MMA legend displayed his familiar cocksure bravado, bounding around the Octagon with exuberance. With the win secured, McGregor then shifted his focus to Team Chandler, setting the stage for an intense confrontation.
“I love KO’s! Who doesn’t love KO’s?” The Irishman energetically barked at the opposing fighters. F****** holding onto each other yous are in here for two f****** rounds. You think closed guard top after two rounds and the fight is over? There’s a lot of unfinished fights here.”
McGregor’s provocative words elicited an angry reaction from Roosevelt Roberts and Jason Knights, both representing Team Chandler. Standing on a balcony with their teammates, they watched the scene unfold inside the cage, clearly agitated by McGregor’s taunts.
