Conor McGregor threatened to break Michael Chandler's nose in a heated exchange on the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter.

Both coaches went head to head after McGregor mocked Chandler by saying some of the fighters on the show competed in the UFC before the veteran American did.

In the exchange, McGregor called Chandler a 'little fool' and threatened to break his nose.

The Notorious then pushed Chandler forcefully in the face before the pair were separated by a combination of fighters and UFC President Dana White.

The UFC have already announced that McGregor and Chandler will square-off in the octagon, but as of yet no date, arena or weight class for the potential bout has been announced.

McGregor himself revealed a number of week's ago that a date for the fight would be revealed during the course of this season of TUF.

Should the Irishman return to the UFC this year, it will be his first fight since he broke his leg in defeat to Dustin Poirier back in July 2021.
