Conor McGregor, according to UFC commentator Jon Anik, will have a huge impact on the TUF 31 ratings.
‘The Notorious’ is returning to the octagon after his horrific leg break loss against Dustin Poirier back in 2021. According to the UFC commentator, the Irishman’s ability to promote his fights is unparalleled, and he has at least eight of the top 10 PPV fights of all time. This proves that fans are eagerly waiting to see McGregor back in the octagon, and his return will be a massive draw for the sport.
In what promises to be a spectacular matchup, McGregor will coach against Michael Chandler in the TUF 31. Both the fighters will showcase their coaching skills first and then face each other inside the octagon.
