Find Start Times And Fight Card Info For The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs Team Chandler
The Ultimate Fighter is set for the premier of its 31st season on May 30, and all indications point toward this one being the biggest since the inaugural series brought the sport into a broader level of awareness back in 2005 capped with a Hall of Fame worthy bout between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar. Eighteen years later, the sport’s biggest star returns as Conor McGregor coaches opposite all-action man Michael Chandler – a combination almost guaranteed to provide a handful of must-see interactions as they faceoff ahead of their eventual fight projected for sometime later in 2023.
Since premiering in 2005, The Ultimate Fighter provided the opportunity for myriad champions and Octagon legends to get their start. From current Hall of Fame members like Michael Bisping and Rashad Evans to surefire future ones like Kamaru Usman, Robert Whittaker and Rose Namajunas, the show provides a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to be a mixed martial artist at the highest level.
Of course, the show also provides quite the spotlight for the coaches. Anyone who has been anyone in the Octagon has donned the role, and this season will be no exception.
This season features fighters from two of the sport’s most loaded divisions: lightweight and bantamweight. UFC fans will recognize a decent chunk of the fighters this season as many participated in Dana White’s Contender Series, previous seasons of The Ultimate Fighter, while a handful fought for several years in the promotion itself.
When McGregor and Chandler eventually lock horns in the Octagon, it will be McGregor’s first fight since breaking his leg in July 2021. For Chandler, who has earned Performance Bonuses in four of his five UFC fights - including 2021’s Fight of the Year against Justin Gaethje and one of 2022’s best knockouts against Tony Ferguson - it is a crucial fight to stay in the shark pit that is the lightweight title picture.
