The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): Season 31 debuted with a bang on Tuesday evening. This season features two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor coaching against three-time Bellator champion Michael Chandler.
The first episode has traditionally seen both coaching staffs meet the fighters of the season before picking their teams and beginning preparations for the first fight of the season at episode’s end. A lightweight bout between former UFC fighter and Dana White’s Contender Series vet Roosevelt Roberts and Nate Jennerman, a one-time veteran of PFL, will headline the show at its conclusion.
