Conor McGregor and his team celebrated their first win in the most recent episode of ‘The Ultimate Fighter 31’. He shared a post on social media and congratulated his teammate Rico DiSciullo after he defeated Team Chandler’s Hunter Azure with a remarkable KO finish. His former TUF 22 opposition coach, Urijah Faber, took a jibe at ‘The Notorious, while fans shared their reactions to the post.

Just when everybody counted out Team McGregor from winning even a single match this season, Rico DiSciullo came to the rescue. He registered a tremendous double hammer fist finish to move on to the semifinals. Besides, DiSciullo is the only fighter from McGregor’s team to have won a fight this season.

The final quarterfinal fight showcased a great fight, with both DiSciullo and Azure starting equally exchanging blows. However, in the second round, Conor McGregor’s teammate caught Azure with a strike that sent him down to the mat. DiSciullo finished him off with a Marvel Superhero Hulk’s signature ‘Hulk Smash’ kind of hammer fist to seal the win for his team. ‘The Notorious’ was glad that he didn’t get clean-swept by Michael Chandler. He celebrated the win by running around the Octagon and was clearly happy to have registered a win this season. Meanwhile, the Irishman’s former TUF opposition coach, Urijah Faber, took a jibe at the former double champion following the win.
