Details emerge following Conor McGregor, Michael Chandler altercation, NSAC intervene after slap thrown

Details have emerged regarding last week’s alleged physical altercation between The Ultimate Fighter 31 coaches, Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, with reports claiming a slap was thrown between the pair after a contestant on the reality television show was knocked unconscious during a tense bracket bout.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the UFC banner – returned to Las Vegas last month to begin filming for TUF 31 against Chandler, with the duo serving as opposing coaches on the reality television show.

Sitting front and center at UFC 285 last weekend alongside his long-time partner, Dee Devlin and fellow Roadhouse star, Jake Gylenhaal, Conor McGregor was alleged to have been involved in a rather heated confrontation with Chandler as per UFC leader, Dana White – who elected against divulging any information on the spat.
