The ongoing filming of The Ultimate Fighter 31 has garnered a lot of attention from fans, who are anticipating an exciting and riveting season. Despite controversies surrounding the latest TUF season, UFC superstar Conor McGregor has managed to maintain a brash and carefree persona while also showing respect towards his rival coach, Michael Chandler. The Irishman has refrained from engaging in trash-talking or provoking his opponent and has instead developed a cordial relationship with him on set. According to insider Michael Bisping, there hasn’t been any significant drama between the two coaches, and things have been relatively calm and uneventful.
Notably, the UFC Hall of Famer disclosed the same as he appeared on the latest segment of his famed podcast. The Brit sat down with his co-host Anthony Smith and touched upon the freshly concluded UFC Vegas 70 and recent events in the MMA world. Further, ‘The Count’ who was also in Apex Arena for his commentator’s commitment, crossed paths with Chandler in an unlikely place.
Chandler reveals no drama with the ‘cordial’ Conor McGregor
The host mentioned he met the 36-year-old at Fight Night, where he exchanged a quick conversation with the lightweight fighter. However, the brief interaction took place in a toilet while the former middleweight champion was tendering to his commentator’s duties.
Following this, he admitted he asked the former Bellator champion about the ‘Mystic Mac’. Thus, he said, “But I did ask him about McGregor. I said, are you guys getting along? Has there been any drama?”
“And he said, to be honest, with me, he said, he’s [Conor McGregor] been very cordial,” Bisping added later on.
However, the environment was not devoid of drama. Thus, the MMA fighter turned podcaster continued, “He said, you know, there’s been bits of drama, of course. That has, he said, but nothing too spicy as of yet.”
Despite this revelation, the 43-year-old host believes there was a lot to unpack because it was still early days. Lastly, Bisping insisted, “As of yet, nothing too spicy, but I mean there will be, there will be.”
