Conor McGregor invoked a classic scene from the long-running animated series The Simpsons in response to reports that he had cut multiple Ultimate Fighter contestants in favor of his own friends.
Just a day into filming the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter reports emerged claiming three fighters, Ken Cross, Mitch Ramirez, and Brandon Jenkins, were pulled from the series to make room for fighters hand-picked by McGregor who will be coaching opposite ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler. UFC middleweight Chris Curtis added fuel to the fire by tweeting a response to the news story saying, “Most definitely true. What a f*cking a**hole.”
Conor McGregor was quick to snap back at ‘Action Man’ claiming that the reports were false and that he was not responsible for anybody being allegedly removed from the competition.
“@Actionman513 not true. I only know 1 guy on this show and he put himself forward for it. And he is now, after today, set to fight the No.1 seed! I didn’t ask nor request nothing! And I certainly didn’t have people removed. I’m just tryna get back in the mix myself so f*ck off.”
Curtis wasn’t buying McGregor’s response. “Cool excuse,” Curtis replied. “Still kinda weird he shows up with the exact number of guys who got bumped… f*cking weird.”
Always determined to get the last word, and even poke a little fun at the rumors, Conor McGregor took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself alongside coach John Kavanaugh as the pair appeared to be looking over information regarding this season’s TUF competitors. However, it was the caption that caught fans’ attention as many quickly recognized the quote as previously used by TV’s favorite animated dad, Homer Simpson.
“Good practice, team!” he wrote. “Ok it’s time for the easiest part of any coach’s job.. the cuts. Now, while I wasn’t able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you. Wendell is cut. Rudy is cut. Janey, you’re gone. Stephen, I like your hustle. That’s why it was so hard to cut you. Congratulations! The rest of you made the team! Except you, you and you.”
For context, you can view the classic clip that ‘The Notorious’ was referencing below:

When Conor McGregor returns to the Octagon later this year, he will reportedly do so as a welterweight for the first time since 2020.
UFC president Dana White recently confirmed that ‘The Notorious’ will make his long-awaited return to competition in 2023, squaring off with No. 5 ranked lightweight contender ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler. Before they throw hands in the cage, the pair will act as dueling head coaches on season 31 of the promotion’s long-running reality series, The Ultimate Fighter.
During an appearance on The MMA Ringer Show with Chuck Mindenhall and Petesy Carroll, renowned MMA journalist Ariel Helwani reported that the bout will be contested at 170 pounds. Conor McGregor, a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, has competed as a welterweight once before in a bout with Donald Cerrone at UFC 246. The 40-second victory over ‘Cowboy’ represents McGregor’s only win inside the Octagon dating back to 2016. For Chandler, it will be his first time competing in the heavier weight class since signing with the promotion in 2020.
“The Notorious One is coming back, first on TUF,” Helwani said. “It’s going to begin airing here in the United States on ESPN television. So ESPN linear and ESPN+ May 30 to August 15 and then the plan is they will fight in the third quarter. Last I heard September. We did a quick Twitter Spaces in the morning, just to try it out. No one get crazy, but we were talking about the weight. I’ve confirmed it’s 170. That’s an interesting little wrinkle there, especially for Chandler.”

Conor McGregor has been out of action since suffering a devastating injury, fracturing his left tibia and fibula, in the first round of a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The Irishman has dropped three of his last four bouts inside the Octagon.
Chandler is in a similar boat, losing three of his last four and going 2-3 overall since making his UFC debut. Chandler burst into the promotion with a first-round knockout of Dan Hooker at UFC 257 but has since lost to the lightweight division’s elite including Charles Oliveira, Justin Gaethje, and Dustin Poirier.
USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) recently confirmed that Conor McGregor is yet to re-enter the testing pool to qualify for competition. Once enrolled, ‘The Notorious’ will be required to undergo six months of testing and provide at least two negative tests in order to compete this fall.

After speculation continued to rise in recent weeks regarding a potential appearance on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ for former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor, it appears the 34-year-old striker will make his Octagon comeback, as part of the thirty-first season of the reality television show this year.
As per an initial report from Severe MMA, Crumlin native, McGregor will return to the UFC this year, as part of a coaching role on the upcoming thirty-first season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ – serving as an opposing coach for the second time in his mixed martial arts career. The report also details how Conor McGregor’s long-time head coach and Straight Blast Gym tactician, John Kavanagh will also coach on the series.
Back in 2015 following his UFC 189 interim UFC featherweight championship knockout win over Chad Mendes, McGregor coached on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ against former WEC featherweight champion, Urijah Faber.
Earlier this month, speculation began to mount that McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, would return to the promotion in the capacity of a coach on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’, after the Dubliner confirmed he had been offered a role as an opposing coach.
As a result, former lightweight title challenge, Michael Chandler, and former interim 155lbs champion, Tony Ferguson noted their interest in coaching against their division rival – with the latter also confirming how he had been approached with an offer to coach on the next instalment of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’.
Yet to return to the Octagon since July 2021, McGregor headlined UFC 264 against former interim lightweight gold holder, Dustin Poirier, fracturing his left tibia and fibula en route to a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss.
At the time of publication, the UFC have yet to confirm Conor McGregor’s return to the organization as part of the next instalment of The Ultimate Fighter, nor have yet to confirm whom is expected to coach opposite the former champion.
