Michael Chandler reveals Conor McGregor's provocative tactics on TUF 31
In the aftermath of a summer consumed by reality TV, Michael Chandler has finally had an opportunity to dissect his time coaching against Conor McGregor on TUF 31.
During the course of the shoot, the show saw its fair share of boiling points as tensions flared, leading to near-confrontations between the two coaches. UFC president Dana White intervened to defuse the situation during one such instance.
During a conversation on the DC & RC show, Chandler delved into his approach toward McGregor's trash talk and mind games. Chandler stated:
"The great thing about Conor, and I will give him some huge props here, is he would go three, four days of trying to be my friend, trying to be buddy-buddy, trying to be like ‘Hey man, it’s all business. You know, I’m the biggest guy in the sport. You’re on my show, but you’re a nice guy."
Chandler added:
"And then all the sudden, he’d flip the script, and one day, he’d go completely nuts on me or he would go hit a little bit deep, a little bit deeper of a cut to kinda try to get under my skin, so you never quite knew which Conor you would get.”
