The release date for The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 Episode 3 is here. This week, a new episode of the gripping MMA competition show “The Ultimate Fighter” will air. Given that Michael’s team was successful in winning the opening round, McGregor’s team is aware of their current situation.
These seasoned UFC veterans are not in this for the pleasure of it; they will stop at nothing to win the prize. Prospects are willing to adapt and advance in the game, even though they may have less experience. Crag Piligan, Frank Fertitta III, Lorenzo Fertitta, and Dana White are the creators of The Ultimate Fighter.
On January 17, 2005, it debuted its first episode on network television, and it’s still going strong today. The Forrest Gryphon vs. Stephan Bonnar match was the show’s breakthrough moment, and it quickly began attracting millions of viewers per episode. The popularity of the sport is also a result of The Ultimate Fighter, which gave rise to many of the skilled MMA competitors in the UFC.
This season of The Ultimate Fighter will include a total of 12 new competitors. The iconic Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, both of whom are very accomplished MMA fighters, were chosen as the coaches this time. Even while the Michael-Conor battle is eagerly anticipated, the matches between up-and-coming fighters and seasoned pros are equally exciting.
Recap Of The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 Episode 3
The previous episode was titled “A Hefty Price to Pay,” and let’s see the recap. At the APEX venue, where the UFC has their TUF fights, Ep. 2 begins. Timur Valiev insists that not every fighter that comes out of Dagestan is the next Khabib Nurmagomedov as he previews his upcoming quarterfinal match against Trevor Wells, who won’t be intimidated by the aura of the Dagestani fighter.
Jeff Mullen from the Nevada State Athletic Commission appears out of nowhere in the gym and asks to speak with Coach Chandler. Depending on how things turn out, it appears that Wells has been declared medically unable to compete and has been benched until next week. Wells states that when he woke up, he had a cold sore on his face that resembled a red map of Italy.
The demands of weight loss are to fault, says Coach McGregor. Speaking of losing weight, Valiev did not like hearing that he would have to do it again in about seven days. If Wells is given the go-ahead to compete the following week, UFC President Dana White is willing to stage the fight at catchweight. Valiev vs. Wells will be replaced by the bantamweight contest between Mando Gutierrez and Cody Gibson, which has been moved forward.
Gutierrez had previously competed in the promotion’s “Contender Series” but had lost a match. With his superior strategy, he hopes to expose Gibson’s “lazy jab.” When Gutierrez talks about his fiancée and his “baby girl,” a dog, we experience a few happy moments. We see them kissing, cuddling, and traveling together in some videos.
While trying to motivate his team, Coach McGregor is fully exhausted after light sparring. It costs money to have all that muscle, dude. Later that night at home, Landon Quinones is yelling profanities and trash-talking the seasoned competitors. Quinones gently declines Roosevelt Roberts’ invitation to settle it outdoors after he orders him to “STFU.”
When McGregor arrives at the gym for a haircut, Gutierrez embarrasses himself by incessantly gagging on “Notorious” throughout the protracted trim. Mac bounces around the house after getting a haircut to visit with his group.
