Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler
The best part of TUF 31 is his opponent who is coaching Team Chandler is slated to be his next opponent in the octagon. That adds another level of competition as that may be a prelude to the actual fight. Is the better coach the better fighter? In the preview for TUF 31, we have seen multiple altercations happen between McGregor and Chandler. It will be very interesting to see how things play out during the season, as they will try to one-up each other with every chance they get. We even saw a moment in the octagon with McGregor shoving Chandler with all his might. Safe to say both coaches have been taking their role very seriously to become victorious.

Conor wants Chandler to fight him at 185. It is probably not happening at that weight. Most likely the match will go off at 170. McGregor just recently went into the testing pool which would mean the fight would take place in no less than six months from now. McGregor himself informed the press that the fight date will be announced during an episode of TUF. The TUF 31 finals will be known by then, setting up the continuing storyline for the massive event. It will undoubtedly be one of the most watched UFC events in history, as Conor has an insane following all over the world. Both fighters predicted an early stoppage knockout. This fight will be fireworks from the start. Grab your popcorn!
