"The Ultimate Fighter 31: McGregor vs. Chandler Episode 10 Recap: Blood, Drama, and a Surprise Appearance"

Brad Katona secures a split decision win over Timur Valiev in The Ultimate Fighter 31 bantamweight semifinals, advancing to the finals and giving Conor McGregor's team a much-needed victory. Katona, who previously won TUF 27 at featherweight, now has the opportunity to become the first-ever two-time winner of the reality show. The intense battle saw both fighters sustain cuts on their heads, with Katona showcasing strong counters and Valiev delivering damaging leg kicks and combinations. Katona's win sets up a potential welterweight bout between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, although the matchup is yet to be confirmed due to recent sexual assault accusations against McGregor and his ongoing USADA issues.

Team Chandler's Timur Valiev won a unanimous decision over Team McGregor's Trevor Wells in the fourth episode of The Ultimate Fighter 31, making it 4-0 for Team Chandler this season. Valiev dominated the second round with his wrestling after Wells showed good striking and grappling defense in the first round. The bout was supposed to happen earlier in the season but was postponed due to a cold sore on Wells' face. The finalists of the TUF 31 lightweight and bantamweight tournaments will compete for a six-figure UFC contract at the show's live finale.
