The brand new season of The Ultimate fighter is currently on its way. The 31st edition of the show will feature Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler as the head coaches. All of which will culminate in a fight between the two fighters at the end of the season.
As expected from the best trash talker in the business Conor McGregor has already been using his skills to sell the show. In a recent interview with THE MAC LIFE while filming for the show McGregor said, “I think I’m just going to slice through him…I think I’m a little too slicy for him than anyone else he’s fought. A little too snappy and whippy. I think I’ll slice through him.”
Further, when asked about what weight class he desires to return he joked, “185 …That’s what I said to him yesterday. Just having a buzz with him. He’s a nice guy.” Now Chandler seemed to have confirmed the idea with his latest tweet. Chandler wrote, “I hope. I’m here to break his will, not lose weight.”
Both fighters seem to have put on some serious mass while being away from the Octagon. Which has led the fans to speculate a Middleweight clash between the two. Even the date and place for the fight between the two haven’t been confirmed by UFC yet.
