The Show Has Failed To Meet Expectations
According to reports, the premiere of TUF 31 failed to reach half the audience that tuned in to watch McGregor coach for the first time against Urijah Faber in 2015. This does not bode well for the show as viewership tends to decline as seasons progress.
In Episode 2, Team McGregor suffered another devastating loss as Cody Gibson of Team Chandler secured a first-round TKO victory against Mando Gutierrez. The highlight of the fight was Gibson’s impressive switch knee that knocked Gutierrez to the ground, followed by a flurry of punches that ended the fight.
The return of Conor McGregor to TUF after a long hiatus had fans eagerly anticipating the show’s return, but the lackluster viewership numbers have been a disappointment. Nevertheless, the series promises to be an exciting watch as fighters battle it out for a contract with the UFC, while McGregor and Chandler lead their respective teams to victory.
The season will culminate in McGregor facing off against Chandler in a much-anticipated fight. For now, the two coaches are focused on leading their teams to victory, with each fighter vying for a chance to make a name for themselves in the world of UFC.
Despite the drop in viewership, TUF 31 promises to be an exciting watch for UFC fans, with plenty of action-packed fights and intense rivalries between the fighters and coaches. As the season progresses, fans will be eagerly anticipating the next episode to see who comes out on top in the ultimate battle for supremacy in the octagon.
