Conor McGregor, known for his controversial persona, faced a potential setback in his coaching role on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. However, Mystic Mac managed to avoid the ultimate embarrassment by securing a decisive victory in the new episode.
Coach Conor McGregor picked up his first victory at UFC TUF 31
Despite his real-life controversies, including being pursued by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency), McGregor’s television reality show experience had been marked by a lack of victories against Team Chandler until this recent success.
McGregor finally achieved his first win as a coach this season thanks to Rico DiSciullo’s impressive finish of Hunter Azure. The victory had been eagerly anticipated, as a result, McGregor’s celebration was nothing short of spectacular.
As Rico delivered a brutal knockout to his opponent, the former two-division champion of the UFC began running around the octagon in sheer elation. Looking ahead, the only confirmed semi-final matchup on next week’s episode is set between Roosevelt Roberts and Austin Hubbard.
