Conor McGregor has taken to social media to address recent criticisms from Dana White regarding a unique coaches challenge on TUF. White, who usually enjoys this part of the show, expressed frustration with the production team’s decision to have McGregor and Michael Chandler answer trivia questions in an ice bath, calling it a “huge f*cking clusterf*ck.”

Responding to White’s comments, McGregor conveyed his appreciation on Twitter. He assured White that the production team was competent and thanked him for his concern. He tweeted, “The production team was absolutely fine and quite awesome, actually! No issues at all. Thanks to Dana for checking in! Sending love from the tub. Watch @UltimateFighter on @espn!”

McGregor and Chandler were tapped as coaches for TUF season 31. The duo recently signed off their final episode. The series continues to air and will do so until August 15. Traditionally, coaches engage in a post-season octagon face-off. But speculation grew due to McGregor’s absence from the USADA drug testing pool after his injury at UFC 264 in July 2021.

While typically a more relaxed segment, the coaches’ challenge took an intense turn as the production team subjected the fighters to an ice bath with trivia questions. With the water temperature at 39 degrees Fahrenheit, the challenge posed some risk. Dana White’s robust reaction reflects his disappointment. This was in contrast to McGregor’s tweet aimed at alleviating concerns and asserting no issues with the challenge.
