Michael Chandler slams Conor McGregor for skipping TUF finale at UFC 292: ‘Tonight was part of the job’

Despite UFC 292 hosting The Ultimate Fighter tournament finals, TUF coach Conor McGregor was nowhere to be found in the building.

Emanating from Boston’s iconic TD Garden, the 31st season of the long-running reality series wrapped up with the bantamweight and lightweight finals. Kicking things off was previous TUF winner and representative of Team McGregor, Brad Katona, who squared off with Cody Gibson for the 135-pound contract. Katona delivered an exceptional three-round performance and scored himself another opportunity with the promotion.

Immediately following Katona’s win was the lightweight tournament final featuring two Team Chandler representatives, Kurt Holobaugh and Austin Hubbard.
