Breaking: Gilbert Burns blasts Conor McGregor for getting his teammate 'kicked out' from TUF 31
Conor McGregor has once again found himself embroiled in a controversial situation. Despite 'The Ultimate Fighter' (TUF) season not yet commencing, McGregor is already generating headlines.
Following welterweight fighter Gilbert Burns' tweet, McGregor has reportedly replaced one of Burns' teammates and training partner, Loik Radzhabov, from the upcoming TUF 31 show with his own fighter. The news has sparked a buzz in the UFC community, with many questioning McGregor's motives and whether he received special treatment in the selection process.
'Durinho' tweeted:
"This guy is my teammate! Loik Radzhabov 2x PFL finalist 155! Work so hard and was ready to finally get his shot in the UFC on TUF was in Vegas everything good to go! This freaking Conor bring his own guys and they kick him out! Not Fear!
