Read our privacy policy It has been hinted that the UFC might have changed the format of The Ultimate Fighter, after Conor McGregor’s team fell to 0-7 against Michael Chandler’s team. Chandler’s group of ex-UFC fighters have beaten McGregor’s team of rookies in every fight across the first seven episodes of the new season of the television show. While the show wrapped filming recently, it will continue airing until August, and it was suggested in this week’s episode that producers might have altered the format to help Team McGregor going forward. After Jason Knight of Team Chandler submitted Landon Quinones in the first round, McGregor asked UFC president Dana White what would happen if his team fell to a 0-8 clean sweep before the next stage of the programme.
