Conor McGregor pivoted from being devastated to becoming physically violent with opposing coach Michael Chandler after his team suffered yet another loss on The Ultimate Fighter.
Team McGregor has already had a rough go of things through the first five episodes of TUF, but the "Notorious” one likely had high hopes for his #1 pick and SBG Ireland teammate Lee Hammond heading into next week’s fight against Team Chandler’s Kurt Holobaugh.

Keeping the results of the fights on TUF under wraps is no easy task, and now footage has leaked of Hammond getting caught in a guillotine late in the fight with Holobaugh to drop his team to 0-6 and send McGregor to his knees.
Conor McGregor Gets Physical With Michael Chandler
One of the UFC’s major selling points in the previews for this season of TUF was footage of McGregor shoving Chandler in the Octagon, and another leaked clip reveals that the altercation occurred immediately following Hammond’s submission loss on episode 6.

Team McGregor is now winless through the first six fights of the show, with only the Irishman’s #4 lightweight and bantamweight prospects Landon Quinones and Rico DiSciullo left to compete against Chandler’s #1 picks Jason Knight and Hunter Azure.
Finally seeing the full footage of McGregor shoving Chandler will no doubt get some fans fired up about the prospect of the two fighting, but the chances of that matchup ever happening appear to grow less likely by the day.
The door has already closed on “Mystic Mac” making a return this year due to his apparent unwillingness to re-enter the USADA testing pool, and it’s worth wondering if the promise of a significant payday is enough to keep Chandler waiting around for that fight to materialize.
