On Tuesday's The Ultimate Fighter 31 episode, Conor McGregor took part in the coach's challenge against Michael Chandler. All a bit of fun, right? Bruce Buffer had other ideas.Chandler and McGregor sat in cold plunge tubs while the legendary announcer quizzed them on MMA subjects. In one of the rounds, the pair were asked about each other, which led to Buffer risking it all in front of the Irishman.The American was asked to name the round McGregor submitted to Khabib Nurmagomedov back in October 2018 when they went head-to-head at UFC 229. The Irishman began to chuckle as Buffer started the question before saying: "Ah, get out of here!"Chandler, of course, got the question correct. The majority of UFC fans know Khabib defeated McGregor in the fourth round. Their clash at UFC 229 was one to remember. It was perhaps one of the most anticipated bouts UFC has ever seen. McGregor added, "Woah! What's the story there?" when Chandler answered the question correctly.'Notorious' laughed off any lingering discomfort he had about his defeat to Khabib and won the competition. McGregor received a hefty payment of $10,000. In addition, every fighter on his team were given $1,500 by Dana White.

After his victory over Nate Diaz, Jake Paul wasted little time in turning his attentions to Conor McGregor.Paul beat Diaz via unanimous decision in Dallas, Texas, in a contest which included the former putting his opponent down in the fifth round.Afterwards, in the post-fight press conference, Paul took aim at the Notorious One in rather brutal fashion, responding to a tweet McGregor posted, apparently referencing the fight: "F*** this, sweetie what's up." That's what the Irishman tweeted during the fight.American Rapper Saweetie was spotted at the event, and it may have been that McGregor was more interested in her than the action inside the ring. She had earlier accompanied Amanda Serrano to the ring for her bout on the same card against Heather Hardy.

The fallout from UFC 291 is well underway, with Justin Gaethje responding in his post-fight press conference to Conor McGregor's handful of tweets, saying: "I’m not gonna fight someone on steroids."The feud comes after the Irishman claimed he would "slap around’ the new BMF Champion shortly after Gaethje claimed victory over McGregor’s old foe Dustin Poirier.The former UFC double champion has been on the sidelines for the last two years following a severe leg break in his third bout with Poirier; however, he has vowed to return later this year against Michael Chandler following the conclusion of the current The Ultimate Fighter series.Adding to that, this isn’t a new feud. The pair were scheduled to fight in 2019 before the two-weight world champion was forced to pull out due to a hand injury. There was clearly no love lost between the two.

Justin Gaethje scored an incredible head-kick KO to beat Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 with a highlight-reel performance.Gaethje was looking to continue his latest surge up the lightweight division in an extremely difficult showdown with 'The Diamond' who had the same plan.Stakes were higher than ever for the American pair, with the award of the UFC's 'BMF' belt on the line, and a potential shot at the winner of Islam Makhachev's title rematch with Charles Oliveira.

Molly McCann was left stunned after being submitted by Julija Stoliarenko in the first round in her latest UFC London appearance.'Meatball' had a good record at UFC London events coming into the bout with two wins under her belt, but was looking to respond from her first round defeat to Erin Blanchfield at the end of last year.Stakes were high for McCann, but she went into the contest as the significant favourite against her opponent Stoliarenko, as the Evertonian looked to breathe new life into her flyweight career.

Chelsea Chandler even had the commentators laughing as she ran away from Norma Dumont at UFC Vegas 77 on Saturday night.Chandler was rocked early on in the featherweight bout and proceeded to run off towards the opposite end of the octagon.Brazilian mixed martial artist Dumont duly chased after her opponent - and the footage has subsequently gone viral on social media.There was drama in the build up to what could reportedly be the final women’s featherweight fight in UFC history.The pair had to be separated backstage following a heated altercation shortly after the face-off.Backstage footage showed a fired-up Dumont (9-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC, before Saturday’s bout) glaring at Chandler (5-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC, prior to the fight) while speaking in Portuguese.Chandler reacted by showing Dumont the middle finger before the pair of them squared up and were eventually separated by onlookers.Naturally, this increased the tension between the two fighters ahead of their Las Vegas clash - and Dumont got off to the perfect start as she caught Chandler with a strong shot.Aware that she was in big trouble early on, Chandler went into fight-or-flight mode, turning her back and running towards the other end of the cage.

Ex-UFC champion Alex Pereira has shown his powerful striking skills throughout his career, and has even done so in sparring with a boxing prospect.Pereira will make his UFC return this month as part of a stacked UFC 291 pay-per-view event when he moves up to light-heavyweight in a clash with Jan Blachowicz.'Poatan' was considered too big for middleweight despite reigning as champion, but he unfortunately was stopped by Israel Adesanya to lose his crown earlier this year.The size and power will remain a real asset for Pereira going forward, which he has previously shown according to heavyweight boxer Zhilei Zhang.And in his latest crossover training session, the huge Brazilian has impressed in sparring with an undefeated boxing prospect.

Uncertainty has arisen between Conor McGregor and The Ultimate Fighter producers for what happens if Team McGregor loses every fight after going 0-7 in the latest episode this week.With just one fight left, there's a real strong chance that the Irishman could be whitewashed and lose 8-0 to his rival Michael Chandler, leaving the producers with decisions to make with regards to the season going forward.

Former featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor, who is currently a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, got a little carried away and ended up dropping one of his own fighters in Landon Quinones during a sparring session.McGregor has become a coach for The Ultimate Fighter season 31 while nursing a leg injury, and during the series he is putting his fighters up against fellow UFC fighter Michael Chandler, who will be McGregor's next opponent with a fight rumored to take place after the season has reached its climax, however, Dana White is yet to confirm what event will have this fight on the fight card.McGregor was last in the Octagon when he faced Dustin Poirier on the 10th of July at UFC 264.

A clip has recently emerged of a YouTuber attempting to prank UFC fighter Jalin Turner with disastrous results.In the clip, a YouTube prankster, and arguably the bravest man on the planet, can be seen approaching UFC fighter Turner on the Las Vegas strip.While pretending to be on the phone, the YouTuber turns to look at the fighter and his entourage, stating: “I’ll smack the f*** out of him and his f****** boys,” before going on to antagonise the group more by saying: “You heard what I said.”Within seconds Turner, nicknamed the Tarantula, and his group pounce on the YouTuber, grabbing him by the throat and forcing him to the ground.No doubt absolutely terrified, the YouTuber then pleads with the group and admits the stunt was a prank.

Recent footage has shown Conor McGregor reacting to losses he has suffered as a coach on TUF in 2015 compared to 2023.The Irishman is currently coaching the MMA reality series alongside Michael Chandler. However, the Notorious isn’t enjoying the best of starts and is now 0-6 following last night’s episode.

Even though Conor McGregor is not competing right now, he is still taking defeats, this time as a coach in the current Ultimate Fighter season.His latest defeat came this week, which put him 5-0 down to rival coach Michael Chandler, but footage has already been leaked for next week's episode, and it shows that the Irishman falls 6-0 down with yet another loss.In an attempt to arrest his team's downward slide of four consecutive defeats, McGregor looked to get his first win of the season as his bantamweight prospect Carlos Vera took on Team Chandler’s Brad Katrona in the latest instalment of TUF.However, he suffered a fifth straight defeat as a coach with Kotana, who is ironically his own teammate, defeating Vera via unanimous decision.Chandler thought that his fighter was the better of the two in both rounds, however, McGregor disagreed with the decision of the judges, and he demanded that they should have a sudden death round.“Give him three rounds lads, we want three rounders here judges yeah? None of this two round s****”.This is what McGregor said this week, and from the leaked footage, it looks as though it continued into the next episode, which will be aired next week.

Despite being inactive in MMA for nearly two years, Conor McGregor is still one of the sport's biggest personalities and most talked about names. Sometimes that's a good thing, but of course, sometimes that can be a bad thing as well.It has been well documented that the Irishman has struggled with nursing a leg injury since his defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, in which the bout was stopped in the very first round after McGregor broke his leg.Since then, he has remained inactive in the MMA world, as he fought to get his fitness back up and put any injury problems behind him.

If there was a competition for the most confident man alive, then you probably wouldn’t have to look much further than Conor McGregor.The Irishman is a non-stop train of self-belief and confidence, and while these are very healthy traits to have, there is a line between self-confidence and naivety.This is a line that McGregor constantly flirts with during his incessant Twitter rants about how he is the greatest. That is despite him having not fought since July 2021 and having lost three out of his last four fights.

Despite being inactive in UFC for nearly two years, Conor McGregor is still one of the sport's biggest personalities and most talked about names.Wherever he goes, a headline follows... whether that's good or bad.Over the past two years, most of the headlines have been about his physical appearance, going from him shaving off his iconic beard, to him boasting about just how stacked he is.Let's face it, due to the horrific leg break he suffered back in 2021 against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight, it's been a pretty rollercoaster couple of years for the Irishman.Since that injury, he has remained inactive in the fighting world, as he fought to get his fitness back up and put any problems behind him.In his first major event since his serious injury, it was announced earlier this year that Notorious would be coaching in The Ultimate Fighter against Michael Chandler, with the pair fighting off against each other after the series, at an event yet to be confirmed.It was meant to be happening in December at the final big PPV of the year, but that looks more and more unlikely due to McGregor not being in the USADA pool.So far in Ultimate Fighter, it has been Chandler on top, with McGregor losing all four of the bouts so far across the bantamweight and lightweight division.

Hasbulla seemed to confirm his football club allegiances after meeting with a member of a Women’s Super League team.The social media sensation rose to fame in 2021 after a series of viral TikTok videos, many of which include UFC references. Hasbulla has since been integrated into the world of UFC, and has produced collaborations with the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dana White. While it’s clear that mixed martial arts is Hasbulla’s sport of choice, a recent social media post has suggested he is also a keen Liverpool fan.

Mark Zuckerberg has shown off his impressive skills in MMA in recent weeks, but no-one would have though his first call-out would come from Twitter owner Elon Musk.Zuckerberg has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and won a tournament last month which sparked some huge interest in his fighting career.He was more known for his incredible idea of social media site Facebook which has now rebranded to Meta and has generated him huge income throughout his life.Although an interest has been gauged in a fighting career, no-one would have predicted that Musk would be his first potential rival, in a battle some are branding 'Tech War'.

No concrete date has yet been set for Conor McGregor's UFC return, but he is still keeping himself sharp if recent training footage is anything to go by.The Notorious One has reunited with his old Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach Dillon Danis for a sparring session.

Many thought rising UFC star Khamzat Chimaev was one of a kind, but not according to latest photos of Khamzat Maaev.Chimaev has made waves in the UFC since signing with the promotion beating the likes of Gilbert Burns and Ji Lingliang since making his rise.It is expected he will look to make moves in the middleweight division this year with the title currently held by Israel Adesanya, who he is looking to challenge.His unique style and wrestling appeared to make him a rare breed of fighter, but it appears maybe he has someone very similar waiting in the wings.

When somebody mentions Alistair Overeem, arguably the first thing that pops into your head is the sheer size of the man.In his prime, the MMA fighter was an absolute brute, standing at 6'4" and weighing 265lbs. He was the epitome of heavyweight and should he have wanted, you’d have imagined he’d have made a pretty good living out of being a bodybuilder.Lately, however, the man once dubbed ‘Ubereem’ due to his incredible muscle building ability, has been looking significantly leaner and this has some fans worried.

Would you give your honest opinion about Mike Tyson to the boxing legend’s face?Tyson had one of the most successful careers in the history of combat sports reigning as undisputed heavyweight champion, having fought the likes of Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and Frank Bruno.Fans are often intimidated by the power-puncher, who has regularly been involved in talks of fantasy fights against the likes of Tyson Fury and ridiculously UFC star Conor McGregor.Having regularly teased a new boxing comeback, Tyson remains a prominent figure in the boxing world and extremely popular during public appearances.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and current UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones engaged in a tense war of words as the pair met for the first time since the breakdown of a potential showdown.Both were at a PFL event at the OTE Arena, Atlanta on Friday night, and an initially cordial exchange soon became heated as talk swiftly moved onto organising a possible fight.“Put that fight to happen,” Ngannou said. “We are over here, you over there.”Jones replied: “You know you don’t want no smoke,” with the Cameroonian countering: “You know I want all the smoke.”

UFC 289 was memorable for many reasons, but this was an unexpected frightening moment.The night was filled with top-level UFC stars as Charles Oliveira recorded a brutal KO of Beneil Dariush, before the main-event saw Amanda Nunes beat Irene Aldana before declaring her retirement from the sport.Also on the card, prospect Mike Mallott was looking for his third win since joining the UFC and would go on to beat Adam Fugitt.However, it was what happened before his latest appearance that would take the attention of UFC fans.

Game 4 of the NBA Finals took place last night in Miami and celebrities such as the likes of Neymar Jr and Conor McGregor were in attendance.It was the UFC star who drew the headlines, however, due to an on-court altercation with the Miami Heat mascot known as Burnie, during a time-out in the third quarter of the game.Dressed head-to-toe in a Heat-red velour tracksuit, The Notorious waited at half-court for the mascot, who himself was dressed in a robe and with his boxing gloves on ready to face the Irishman.In a sequence which only lasted less than 20 seconds, McGregor hit out the first punch from either side with a left-hook, sending Burnie to the ground immediately. He followed on from this first hit with a second, which turned out to be knockout blow. Poor Burnie never stood a chance.

Andre the Giant is one of the biggest Superstars to take to the ring, with the WWE having a fair share of giant brutes over the years, with Brock Lesnar one of the biggest men in the industry today.Brock Lesnar stands at an impressive 6ft 2' tall, weighing in at around 286lbs and can lift an unholy amount of weight in the gym. It’s safe to say the former UFC champion is a man you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong size of.However, in comparison, Andre the Giant was billed at a scary 7ft 4', although his passport translates to standing at just under 7ft 2', which is still incredibly petrifying for any competitor. He used his size to his advantage, helping him create one of the most instantly recognisable characters in the history of the WWE.
