- “What the hell is up with Conor? Do you expect your team to win when you aren’t showing up? #TUF31.”

Conor McGregor’s coaching stint on The Ultimate Fighter season 31 hits another snag as his rival coach Michael Chandler extends his lead to 4-0. In a bantamweight clash, Team Chandler’s Timur Valiev outperforms Team McGregor’s Trevor Wells, securing a unanimous decision victory.
Despite Wells’ initial resistance, Valiev’s dominant wrestling skills prove too much to handle. McGregor faces a challenging road ahead as he aims to turn the tide in this intense coaching battle.
Amidst the season’s unforeseen developments, Trevor Wells’ withdrawal from his fight against Timur Valiev due to a facial cold sore disrupted the original plans. This led to a disagreement between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler regarding the bout’s weight limit. While Chandler advocated for a more relaxed weight cut, McGregor’s team pushed for Valiev to shed additional pounds.
Eventually, a resolution was reached, settling on a 142-pound catchweight. Fans eagerly anticipated this unique matchup between the two fighters under this agreed-upon weight category.
