Conor McGregor is currently taking part in The Ultimate Fighter - the UFC's reality series - as one of the coaches, opposite lightweight fighter Michael Chandler.
In its latest episode, the two men took part in the coach's challenge, which involved them sitting in ice baths while being asked questions by announcer, Bruce Buffer.
However, the President of the UFC, Dana White, was livid at the show's producers, given the the dangers of the challenge, and staying in freezing water for that length of time.
I'm going to tell you this it was a huge clusterfuck by the production team that shot this thing. Completely fucking irresponsible.
Completely a shit show and both of them could have been hurt doing this. It was ridiculous what happened during the coaching challenge.

"I did thirty seven degrees in New York for seven minutes, we did two days at six minutes and the last day at seven minutes," White continued.
"These guys did this thing for almost 30 minutes. Dangerous, stupid, irresponsible and just completely fucking ridiculous on the part of the production team.
"I was literally fucking pissed off about it. Disgusting. Won't happen again."
Dana White has also discussed McGregor's next bout, and said that his proposed fight against Chandler is still the most likely option, despite McGregor's recent spat with Justin Gaethje.
