The McGregor team frankly fails.
We continue to watch with you The Ultimate Fighter 31. The next series of the show begins with a discussion about the incident between Michael Chandler and Conon McGregor in the previous episode. At the same time, the Irishman himself is determined and went to training to work with Landon Quiñones, in whom he has hopes. McGregor admits that he wants to find motivation to get back in the game.
Michael Chandler’s team is discussing the possibility of a dry win on the side: the guys are confident they can beat everyone on Conor’s team.

Conor became the laughingstock of the TUF show. He lost again and shoved Chandler in the face.
Jason Knight represents Chandler’s team in the new episode. The fighter says that at one point he managed to serve nine months behind bars, and now he is engaged in a variety of jobs that will help him pay the bills. Knight was already on the TUF show for season 22 and lost there in the final to the Japanese Tatsuya Kawajiri. Jason also has eight UFC fights to his credit, started with four wins, including over Alex Cáceres and Dan Hooker, and received a $50,000 bonus three times. Knight then suffered four losses and left the promotion.
In training, Chandler works with Knight on field work and shows how his leading man must defend himself in a fight. An unpleasant episode occurred during training: during the match, Knight and Timur Valiev collided with heads, and Jason opened a cut. Everything worked out, and there is no threat of a break in the fight, but Chandler advises Knight to show the cut to everyone in the house, and Landon Quinones first.
It immediately turns out that Cody Gibson, another member of the veteran team, has a bad knee. It turned out that the fighter had a ruptured ligament, and the doctors recommended rest for eight weeks, otherwise the damage could worsen. However, Gibson claims that he will continue to fight.
Landon Quinones exudes supreme confidence and believes he can slow down an opponent with body and leg shots. In addition, Quiñones assures that he can handle everything in the Octagon and will surpass Knight in all aspects. According to Landon, he had a difficult childhood. Both he and his mother faced mental problems, and Quiñones got into fights inspired by Nick Díaz.
Landon trains at the same gym as Chandler, but has never stood up to him. Quiñones offered his services to Michael in preparation for his fight with Dustin Poirier, but Chandler refused. Gilbert Burns trains at the same gym.

In the Octagon or behind bars? McGregor’s career is falling apart
Knight’s feud with Quiñones began without recognition. Jason immediately imposed hard exchanges, struck several times, and the opponent, moving away from the threat in the standing position, fell to the ground and scored a takedown. The problem is that Quiñones hit Knight’s guard, and immediately tried to enter the armbar, and a second later he closed the triangle on Landon’s neck and strangled him. It all took less than a minute.
7-0 to Chandler’s team. McGregor, after another loss, was downright lost and asked Dana White, what would happen if his team lost every fight? However, such failures have never happened before, so the UFC president himself does not know what to do in this case.
Chandler and his team are ready to make it 8-0 and set a unique milestone. But McGregor’s methods failed, regardless of whether his protégé can win at least once.
