Conor McGregor goes 0-6 as TUF coach as future 'world champion' touted prospect loses a fight that he was dominating

Conor McGregor's second stint as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 31 has been a disappointing one. McGregor's winless streak extended to 6-0 in the most recent episode of TUF, as the Irishman dropped to his knees after a highly-touted prospect from his team lost a fight that he was dominating.

Lee Hammond, who was recently labeled a future champion by McGregor, suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Kurt Hollobaugh. Initially, as the fight progressed, McGregor's hopes of getting the first victory in the ongoing season soared, as Hammond released a relentless onslaught, showcasing precise ground-and-pound.

However, despite a commanding display, Hammond's fortunes swiftly took a turn, as he succumbed to a devastating guillotine choke from Hollobaugh in the dying moments of the second round.

A visibly disappointed Conor McGregor, consoled Hammond in the cage, passionately affirming his unwavering faith in the young prospect's fighting prowess. 'The Notorious' also acknowledged Hammond's remarkable growth as a fighter:

"I thought Lee was the better fighter, he got caught but he was dominating the guy. he loves it, it's his life. I'm very happy to see him grow and become the fighter he has become today."
