Things got testy between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler on the lastest episode of “The Ultimate Fighter 31.”

After Lee Hammond lost to Kurt Holobaugh to drop Team McGregor to 0-6, the two coaches entered the cage for a heated confrontation where McGregor shoved Chandler in the face. That prompted UFC president Dana White to rush into the cage to separate the two coaches.

McGregor uploaded a voice message to Twitter mocking Chandler’s remarks in the cage shortly after Tuesday’s episode aired.

“‘Oh, we’re gonna do this,’” McGregor said. “‘We’re gonna fight right now? We’re gonna fight right now? We’re gonna do this? We’re gonna fight right now?’”

McGregor and Chandler are supposed to square off sometime after “TUF 31” concludes. Uncertainty surrounds their proposed bout, however, as there is no evidence of McGregor entering the USADA drug testing pool, and the Irish star is also facing sexual assault allegations stemming from his appearance at a Miami Heat game in June. The former two-division champion hasn’t competed since July 2021, when he broke his leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
