Conor McGregor: Top 5 moments at TUG 25

5. Jumping in the cage: Although McGregor put on a façade of not caring, he was very invested in the performance of his fighters. Especially his good friend at the time, Artem Lobov. And when Lobov knocked out Erosa, McGregor jumped into the cage and jumped on Lobov’s back. Giving rise to one of the best coach reactions in ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ series.

4. Where’s the little weasel?: At number four, we have the famous moment involving TJ Dillashaw, Cody Garbrandt, and his opposite number, Urijah Faber. Throughout the show, McGregor couldn’t resist taunting Faber about Dillashaw changing coaches. And it all blew up when McGregor used his famous line, “Where’s the little weasel?” Garbrandt jumped in to support Faber and Dillashaw. And then he confronted McGregor and pushed him, and things escalated. It resulted in arguably the best line in UFC history. One of McGregor’s fighters then told Garbrandt, “Take care of your underwears man, I’m going to f**k you.”

3. Python Skin: McGregor’s fashion sense throughout the show was very different from Faber’s. ‘The Notorious’ flexed his plethora of suits and other attire. One such instance was when he wore a pair of Python skin shoes. When Faber tried to troll him for his fashion choice, McGregor retorted by saying, “It’s python skin.” And then followed it up with, “It’s something your b*m as* couldn’t afford.”

2. 50-year-old retired skateboarder: Another instance of McGregor’s quick-witted and ruthless replies makes it to number 2 on our list. After Faber tried to make fun of his fashion choices in another instance, McGregor pointed out that Faber wasn’t any better. However, the choice of words and delivery made it better. McGregor replied, “you look like a 50-year-old retired skateboarder.”

1. Shake that chin: Undoubtedly the best moment from McGregor in The Ultimate Fighter season 25 has to be his comment about Faber’s chin. At the first fight, Faber asked Dana where the ring girls were, McGregor replied, “You should walk around with a card and shake that chin.” To date, this is one of the best lines in the history of TUF.
