Michael Chandler suggests The Ultimate Fighter could unleash Conor McGregor's best
In a recent interview, UFC fighter Michael Chandler shared his thoughts on Conor McGregor's potential resurgence in the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. Chandler stated that McGregor's involvement as a coach on the show could bring out the best in the former champion.
Chandler, who is set to coach against McGregor on the show, believes that being immersed in the environment of The Ultimate Fighter could help McGregor rediscover his passion for the sport:
"On ESPN, we're doing The Ultimate Fighter. Team Chandler versus Team McGregor. He's gonna be immersed in that house on ESPN for weeks on end. Seeing these young fighters, their dreams hopefully coming to fruition, he gets to coach them, he gets to be around them, he gets to impact them."
Chandler also expressed his anticipation for McGregor's return to form, saying:
"I think we're gonna see a nostalgia of Conor McGregor. He's gonna find his roots again, and I'm expecting the best Conor we've ever seen."
