It’s official. The biggest star in the UFC is set to return. After surgery, movies…and a lot of expectations, Dana White made the announcement that the newest season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) will feature Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler as the coaches. This event is set to create a lot of buzz and excitement in the world of mixed martial arts.
Conor McGregor, who is widely regarded as one of the biggest stars in the UFC, is no stranger to the Ultimate Fighter TV series. He previously appeared as a coach on the show in 2015, where he led his team to victory in the finals. His involvement in the upcoming series is expected to bring in a large number of fans and followers, as he is known for his outspoken personality and entertaining antics. The last time we saw him in the octagon was against Dustin Poirier in July 2021. That fight ended in a doctor stoppage after McGregor broke his leg.
Michael Chandler, on the other hand, has been busy. Chandler is a former three-time Bellator MMA Lightweight Champion and has a professional record of 22 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no contest. He is known for his impressive striking skills and powerful ground-and-pound style. Chandler’s addition to the series is expected to bring a new level of excitement and intensity to the show. He stormed into the spotlight of the UFC after an impressive first-round knockout of Dan Hooker. Since then he has competed for the Lightweight World title.
The upcoming Ultimate Fighter TV series will feature 16 up-and-coming fighters from around the world who will be competing for a contract with the UFC. The fighters will be split into two teams, one led by McGregor and the other by Chandler. The two coaches will then work with their respective teams to help them improve their skills and prepare for the competition.
The series will not only give fans a chance to see the development of the fighters, but it will also provide a behind-the-scenes look at the training and preparation that goes into preparing for a UFC fight. Additionally, the show will feature McGregor and Chandler as they train and motivate their teams, giving fans an insight into their leadership styles and coaching techniques.
Fans are eager to see how McGregor and Chandler will handle the pressure of being coaches, as well as how the up-and-coming fighters will perform in the competition. With its combination of high-level MMA action and behind-the-scenes drama, the Ultimate Fighter TV series is shaping up to be a must-watch event for fans of the UFC.
The date and location have yet to be announced, but this may light a fire under a TV series that had otherwise started to lose its luster
