The bantamweight and lightweight finals will be contested at UFC 292. Currently, the prospects coached by Conor McGregor are 0-4 while the vets coached by Michael Chandler are 4-0.
As of right now, the fighters that have moved onto the semi-finals are bantamweight Cody Gibson (19-8), Timur Valiev (18-3), and for the lightweights Austin Hubbard (15-6) and Roosevelt Roberts (12-3). Conor McGregor is hoping that he can at least get one win before we move on to the semi-finals because if not he will be the first coach to be shut out not having won a single matchup on The Ultimate Fighter.
The Card is Still Taking Shape
