However, the latter has confirmed on social media that he will return to TUF as a coach for the second time. UFC president Dana White has reacted to McGregor’s announcement. McGregor had appeared in TUF on the 22nd season of the show. The Irishman’s team took on UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber’s team.
