Conor McGregor shows up to first TUF fight in $250,000 Lamborghini… but is left devastated after worst possible start
CONOR MCGREGOR showed up to first bout on The Ultimate Fighter in a Lamborghini… but he got off to the worst start possible.
McGregor is coaching on the reality show where MMA hopefuls live, train and face each other to win a UFC contract.
And he is going up against Michael Chandler, with the pair then in line to fight at the end of the year.
McGregor has a team full of prospects in the bantamweight and lightweight divisions, with Chandler coaching the veterans.
And in the season opener, Nate Jennerman of Team McGregor faced ex-UFC star Roosevelt Roberts of Team Chandler.
The Notorious rocked up to the UFC’s Apex Center in style for the bout, pulling up in a Lamborghini Aventador, priced at around $250,000.
But it ended in disaster for McGregor after Jennerman was brutally knocked out in just TEN seconds.
The former two-weight champion was captured looking on in devastation as he went 1-0 down in the series.
But McGregor was there to comfort Jennerman in the dressing room after the crushing loss.
He said: “Still all here with you, Nate. Still all here with you, yeah. We’ll get back to the gym.
“Don’t worry about that, we’ll get back to the gym. We get better now.”
Part-time UPS driver Jennerman, who left behind his wife and two young children, was left heartbroken following his loss.
He said: “I feel like I left my kids behind for nothing right now. I feel like I didn’t even get to fight.
“I just got clipped right off the rip and I didn’t even get show myself out here.”
