The excitement surrounding TUF 31 has taken a major hit as eager fans are anxiously waiting to see Conor McGregor return to action. But find themselves sorely disappointed. The Irishman’s current season has been plagued by a streak of losses, leaving him with a disheartening 0-5 record against the team of his comeback opponent, Michael Chandler. Adding to the dismay, McGregor’s failure to enter the USADA pool, his last chance to secure a spot in the year’s final pay-per-view, has left fans feeling let down.
