Former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor responded to manager Daniel Rubenstein, who accused him of removing three fighters from the TUF 31 lineup to make room for his men.
"Ken Cross, Mitch Ramirez and Brandon Jenkins all got pulled off to make room for three of Conor's guys to be on the show," Rubinstein wrote on social media.
"Absolutely right. What a f- bastard," UFC middleweight Chris Curtis seconded Rubenstein's statement.
That's not true. I only know one guy on this show, and he proved himself. I didn't ask for anything. And I certainly didn't pull people off. I'm just trying to get back in the game myself, so back off.

As a reminder, Conor McGregor became the fight team coach on the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter show. The opposing team was led by Michael Chandler.
McGregor, 34, has not been in the ring since July 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier by TKO in the first round at UFC 264. Conor has 22 wins and six losses under his belt.
