MMA fighter blasts Conor McGregor for snatching his spot on The Ultimate Fighter, addresses Dana White for UFC chance

Lightweight prospect Mitch Ramirez has made serious allegations against UFC superstar Conor McGregor. The MMA fighter claimed he was pulled out of Season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter to make room for fighters who were friends with the Irishman.

Ramirez made these claims on a recent podcast with Adaptive Leaders. He explained that he lost his spot on the show at the last minute as McGregor had brought in a few of his friends from Ireland who were also prospects.

The UFC then allegedly gave in to McGregor's demands and kicked Ramirez and a few others off the show. Ramirez shared his side of the story, expressing his frustration with the situation, saying:

"I was supposed to be on The Ultimate Fighter, and I lost my spot because Conor McGregor came in with a couple of his little cronies and kicked me out last second. So, Dana White, you said that you were going to give guys like me an opportunity in the UFC."

"Well, he [Conor] came with a couple of his buddies that were prospects, and he was like, "They're not on my team," Do you know what I mean? "Not doing it." And he basically stiff arm the UFC, and the UFC being UFC, was like, "Yes sir!" to Conor McGregor. The guy kicked me and a couple of guys off the show and just sent us home with nothing."
