The feud between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler continues like never before. ‘The Notorious’ and ‘Iron’ were often at odds after they became rival coaches in the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter. At the moment, Team McGregor is going downhill, as they lost all the bouts. The current record of Team Chandler is 6-0, and it’s almost clear that Chandler is going to emerge victorious as a TUF coach. As per the plans of the promotion, the Irishman and Iron are set to fight each other after the end of the season.

The journey to the fight is not going to be easy for both Chandler and McGregor, as they are already engaged in mocking each other. However, things escalated in the sixth episode of TUF. In the last episode, Lee Hammond fought against Team Chandler’s Kurt Holobaugh. Chandler’s team won the bout, and this made McGregor violent. Aaron McKenzie from Team McGregor explained what went wrong between the two TUF coaches.

Aaron McKenzie was having an interview with FanSided MMA. During the conversation, McKenzie explained the violent brawl between McGregor and Chandler. He said, “It was wild for a minute and it kept escalating I think and like the tensions keep boiling up. Like we’re down six fights now and like it wears on you because it’s just a little Jabs right? It’s about six you know that’s 5 and 0, 6-0. How are you gonna come back from that?”

Talking further on the feud, McKenzie explained, “You can’t come back from that. It’s never going to be even at this point, so it was a lot of that and then the little, just the little pokes, you know. Chandler and Conor definitely they got under each other’s skin after a little while and it’s starting to show here in these next couple of episodes.” According to McKenzie, something that provoked McGregor the most was how his team’s score was disappointing to him.

What happened between the two coaches?

 As soon as Holobaugh won the bout against Hammond via submission, McGregor lost his temper. He began to throw insults at the former three-time lightweight Bellator champion. With no time, the Irishman got the face of ‘Iron.’ Chandler was not ready to give up, and he mocked his rival coach for his absence when his team needed him the most.
