Conor McGregor added fuel to his ongoing feud with team Chandler on last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter as he got into a verbal exchange with them following his side's first win of the season.
McGregor avoided being on the wrong side of history as the first clean sweep in the show's history. He celebrated Rico DiSciullo's knockout win over team Chandler's Hunter Azure by running around the octagon and then unleashed a rant on the oppsosing team.
He said:
"Who doesn't love KO's? F**king holding onto eachother, youse are in here! For two f**king rounds. You think closed guard top after two rounds is a fight over?...There's a lot of unfinished fights here...You know what I call youse? Here today, gone tomorrow...Team here today, gone tomorrow."

Obviously, team Chandler weren't too happy with the former two division UFC champion's remarks and began arguing with him. Lightweight Jason Knight saw a positive in the verbal altercation betwen his teammates and 'The Notorious' as it showed the bond that they formed, saying:
"It was crazy. But at the same time, it was fun you got to see real quick that our team built a very strong bond and we were all ready to go to war if that's what it meant." [@UltimateFighter - Twitter]
It will be interesting to see whether DiSciullo can continue his run on the show and ensure team McGregor is represented in the finale.
