Conor McGregor is having a rough time coaching on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter.
Before the start of the season, McGregor was at the center of controversy when he was accused of kicking contestants off the show to make room for his teammates.
Gilbert Burns first made the accusation during an interview with Submission Radio.
“The day that they start filming, Conor McGregor got here. I think he brought two or three of his own guys. And I don’t know exactly what happened, but he just brought his guys in and took a couple of guys out.”
Which was later confirmed by MMA agent Daniel Rubenstein.
Ken Cross, Mitch Ramirez and Brandon Jenkins all got pulled off to make room for 3 of Conor’s guy to be on the show.

Unfortunately bringing in his own guys on the show hasn’t worked out for Conor.
In the first five weeks of this season, the UFC superstar has gone 0-5 vs his rival Michael Chandler.

During the latest episode, McGregor was seen berating the judges for not going to a third round.

MMA fans went on to mock McGregor for his terrible job at coaching on the show.
Conor McGregor is literally just using TUF as a vehicle to promote his personal brands and has zero interest in participating, coaching his team or fighting Michael Chandler.
He’s like the businesses that go on Shark Tank for free advertising without trying to make a deal.

Conor's coaching on #TUF31 is just him telling the ref to stand up the fighters and telling the judges to give them a third round. His coaching has not been impressive this season at all. Chandler's team is kicking major ass.
