Conor McGregor 's coach reveals "favorite quote" from current Ultimate Fighter season

The UFC's ever-popular reality show The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) is back for its 31st installment and will be coached by Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. With filming of the show in full swing, John Kavanagh, the famed head coach of SBG Ireland, recently tweeted out his favorite bit of banter from the show so far.

'The Notorious' is set to make his long-awaited return to action this year after being sidelined for over a year due to injury. He will first reprise his role as a coach on TUF before facing 'Iron' in the octagon. Considering Kavanagh's immense contribution to the Irishman's success in the cage, it isn't surprising that he's been roped in to help McGregor coach his team on TUF.

In a recent tweet, John Kavanagh revealed a quote by Lewis Richie on the show that cracked him up. He wrote:

"My favorite quote so far from this season of @UltimateFighter from @LewisRichie "what's the point in having sex if you can't tell your friends."

The upcoming season of TUF will air on May 30 and run until August 15. Fans can catch the episodes on ESPN, with a new episode released every Tuesday.

Dana White on the recent altercation between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler on the set of TUF

It seems Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler have already clashed with each other as they coach their teams on The Ultimate Fighter. UFC President Dana White recently highlighted the increasing tensions between the two firebrand fighters on set.

While many expected Chandler to ignore McGregor's antics, White confirmed that things escalated quickly once tempers began to boil. While the two coaches were initially respectful towards each other, the pressure started getting to them last week, which led to multiple physical scraps.

In a post-fight press conference after UFC 285 last weekend, the 55-year-old shared details about what went down between the Irishman and the American:

“Chandler and Conor were very respectful to each other, and then some things started escalating that you’ll see on the show. They do not like each other now. A lot of s*** went down on Friday... There was a lot of s*** that went down on Friday... The stuff that just happened shouldn’t have happened."

'Iron' had previously called out Conor Mcgregor on multiple occasions. Considering the Irishman's unique ability to weaponize trash talk, it was only a matter of time before Chandler's patience ran out and they clashed heads.
