#2 UFC Fans react to Conor McGregor's shove on Michael Chandler during latest episode of TUF

Conor McGregor's frustrations have boiled over in the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) after the Irishman shoved Michael Chandler.

'The Notorious' and his team of prospects have suffered a torrid time as of late, losing all five of their bantamweight bouts to Chandler's group of veterans. Clearly frustrated by the results not going their way, McGregor and Chandler first squared up before things turned physical.

Fans have reacted to the extended look at the pair's beef, with many to see something other than McGregor's team losing.

"This is the most entertaining segment out of TUF this season."

Another fan added:

"Dana is happiest in this moment"

#3 Alexa Grasso & Valentina Shevchenko 2 booked for Mexican Independence Day

Dana White recently dropped the bombshell that Alexa Grasso will defend the women's flyweight title in a highly anticipated rematch against Valentina Shevchenko.

White broke the news on social media, revealing that the card will take place in Las Vegas on September 16, which is Mexico's Independence Day. The UFC President also explained the event is set to celebrate and showcase all the Mexican talent within the promotion.

Grasso previously pulled off a major upset back in March when she defeated Shevchenko for the belt at UFC 285. The Mexican native not only took 'Bullet's title but also handed her her first loss in the division.
