Conor McGregor goes public and confirms next UFC move

Conor McGregor has confirmed his next UFC move as he looks to reprise his role on UFC's Ultimate Fighter series.

McGregor previously acted as a coach against Urijah Faber shortly after winning his first UFC title.

And the Dubliner looks set to reprise the role.

He took to social media as he shared a snap from the original series.

And McGregor said: "This is a snap from the original ultimate fighter house. Where I coached vs urijah faber. This photo was just before the show tho.

"It was right before I won my first world title beating urijah team mate chad mendes around. I then went on to coach the famous fight show straight after the fight. With a big black eye and a gash, my tricolor, and my new and first ever ufc gold belt,"

And he added: "I waltzed into the notorious fight gym in Las Vegas. The slickest suits and shouts the show had ever seen before. On top of the silverware. And I coached my team to victory. Crazy. Some journey. I have just been offered to coach this role again. I like it. It is full immersion which is needed.

"I see fighters lining up. I know whats ahead I been ready motherf*****s. #StayReady"

And Faber backed McGregor's plan, saying: "This will be awesome. Do it!"
