Michael Chandler believes the upcoming season of UFC's 'The Ultimate Fighter' might help Conor McGregor "find his roots".
'Iron' recently did an interview with Ashley Brewer for ESPN where he discussed his involvement as a coach in the upcoming season of the UFC cult show 'The Ultimate Fighter'. Speaking about McGregor, who will be coaching against him, Chandler said that the show might help the Irishman become the best version of himself.
"On ESPN, we're doing The Ultimate Fighter. Team Chandler versus Team McGregor. He's gonna be immersed in that house on ESPN for weeks on end. Seeing these young fighters, their dreams hopefully coming to fruition, he gets to coach them, he gets to be around them, he gets to impact them. I think we're gonna see a nostalgia of Conor McGregor. He's gonna find his roots again and I'm expecting the best Conor we've ever seen," said Michael Chandler.
