He is also currently appearing alongside prospective opponent Michael Chandler in The Ultimate Fighter 31. The two coaches do not have a date for their fight, as McGregor has not yet entered the USADA testing pool. However, the recent comments by Dana White reiterating that McGregor will fight at the end of the year suggest the promotion might exempt their biggest star from the six-month rule.
