Conor McGregor absolutely lost his head as he clashed with Michael Chandler in the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).

Team Chandler made it 6-0 over Team McGregor as Kurt Holobaugh submitted Lee Hammond.

Following yet another victory for Team Chandler, the UFC lightweight star ruthlessly told his rival: "Stacking them up, baby!"

His taunt angered McGregor, who got into the American's face, shouting: "Some of these kids are in the UFC before you're in the UFC. So don't start trying to say you're this and that."

McGregor continued to get riled up, adding: "I'll show up and break your nose, you little fooly. Little Bellator tick. You won't do nothing."

The 'Notorious' then landed a two-handed shove in Chander's face, prompting UFC president Dana White to hastily enter the Octagon to defuse the situation.

Speaking about the heated exchange, the former Bellator lightweight champion said: "Conor McGregor grabbed my face and pushed me. I'm ready to fight right there if it goes down."

McGregor's team have yet to record a win against Chandler's side ahead of the seventh TUF bout.

There's still no date for the proposed fight between McGregor vs. Chandler, with a showdown appearing unlikely this year due to the Irishman's USADA situation.

The 34-year-old hasn't fought since his TKO defeat to Dustin Poirier back in July 2021.

He broke his ankle in the first round but has since recovered from his gruesome injury.

But his Octagon return has been held up because of USADA's ruling.

As for Chandler, he's also coming off a defeat to Poirier, having suffered a submission loss in their UFC 281 contest last November.

Will McGregor vs. Chandler happen? Stay tuned.
