There are special moments in the career of all mixed martial artists as they look to make a name for themselves on the world stage.
The UFC debut, the first slot on the main card, a title shot - all rungs on the career ladder of ambitious, young fighters. But one distinction that is not talked about enough is the honour of seeing your face among the sport's greats in the famous gym for The Ultimate Fighter. The walls of the facility are normally reserved for current or past champions of the UFC with the faces of Chris Weidman, BJ Penn and Lyoto Machida all hanging high to give young contestants on the reality show something to shoot for. And a certain Notorious fighter has just recently found his own profile sandwiched between UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw and UFC flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson which is a huge tribute to the popularity of Conor McGregor at the moment. McGregor's head coach at SBG, John Kavanagh, posted a video of the honour this morning.Only the best make it on the walls of the Ultimate Fighter Gym Posted by John Kavanagh on Tuesday, May 19, 2015
