Conor McGregor is already in the headlines even before the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter airs. ‘The Notorious’, however, is in the news for all the wrong reasons. The former UFC double champion is being accused of meddling with the TUF candidates in his team. Moreover, the Irishman was also accused of favoritism in his team and adding ‘his’ fighters to his team.

McGregor was blasted by an MMA manager and UFC fighter, Chris Curtis. However, ‘Mystic Mac’ has responded to the accusations and clarified his stance and acts. The UFC superstar does that in his own ‘Notorious’ fashion.

Conor McGregor responds to accusation of favoritism

MMA manager Daniel Rubenstein on Twitter accused the Irishman of removing fighters from his team. Moreover, the act was said to be done to make room for ‘Conor McGregor’s fighters’. The MMA manager in a tweet said, “Ken Cross, Mitch Ramirez, and Brandon Jenkins all got pulled off to make room for 3 of Conor’s guy to be on the show”.

UFC middleweight contender Chris Curtis also responded to the tweet. The fighter said, “Most definitely true. What a f*cking a**hole”.
