Twitter Reacts To TUF 31: Conor McGregor Vs. Michael Chandler
Conor McGregor is back, and he will be coaching the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter against Michael Chandler.
On Saturday, (Feb. 4, 2023), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White announced the pair of lightweights will coach the show, which starts May 30 and ends Aug. 4, and then they will fight at some point afterward.
McGregor will be returning from a lengthy layoff after recovering from a broken leg last time he was in the octagon at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. (Highlights)
Chandler is also coming off a loss against Poirier, in which he got tapped at UFC 281 but was awarded Fight of the Night. (Highlights)
Twitter has reacted to the TUF 31 news.

As you can see, most fans are excited that the UFC chose McGregor and Chandler to be the coaches on TUF 31; however, some people aren’t so high on the announcement.
TUF could have been so much more entertaining, what a shame. Wrong fight #TUF #UFC

Meh. I was hoping it’d be against Tony but whatever.

Should’ve been Conor vs Tony. Chandler is an entertaining fighter but not personality. He’ll be praising Conor the whole time thanking him for accepting the fight

Being named coaches on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter is whatever.
All I care about is that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are going to fight. #TUF31 #UFC
