John Kavanagh has declared Conor McGregor the winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 31 after Brad Katona's victory at UFC 292 on Saturday evening.
Katona got the better of Cody Gibson in Boston last night and became the first man in history to win the Ultimate Fighter for the second time after his successful stint on the show in 2018.
While Team McGregor was routinely bested by Team Chandler throughout the series, SBG Coach and MMA guru Kavanagh believes McGregor must ultimately be considered the winner of the show on a scoreline of 2-1.He names McGregor's success in the coaches challenge, where the Irishman beat opposition coach Chandler in a trivia challenge, coupled with Katona's win as the reasons why McGregor was the winner.
"Team Chandler wins 155 trophy Team McGregor wins 135 trophy The only other competition was the coaches challenge which @TheNotoriousMMA won So 2-1 to Team McGregor, congratulations Conor winning this season of @UltimateFighter," wrote Kavanagh on Twitter. McGregor clearly agrees with his coaches assessment of the series as he Tweeted And just like that, Team McGregor and @SBG_Ireland wins the @UltimateFighter ! Excellent performance @bradkatona, now the Champ Champ of The Ultimate Fighter! Incredible! Team and gym full of double champions."
The Notorious one will be hoping his victory in the competition is a good omen for the rest of the year. The Irishman has claimed that he will return to the Octagon in December to take on Chandler in a TUF grudge match.
