White kicked off the tournament by flipping a coin to determine which team will pick the first fight. Team Faber wins the coin toss and will have control of fight selection on the next episode. Episode 2: Crowded House (September 16, 2015) Coaches McGregor and Faber meet with their respective teams. McGregor says he doesn't feel a responsibility to coach anyone, but rather provide the team with the best mental and physical conditions possible to win fights. Faber takes a different approach than McGregor. He plans to be more hands-on and says everyone on the team must contribute in order to find successful results. Dana White visits gym and reveals each coach will be granted the opportunity to bring one fighter back who was eliminated during the entry round of fights to make the “TUF 22” cast. Coach McGregor unsurprisingly selects current training partner Artem Lobov, while Faber selects Johnny Nuñez. White also announces that with two new athletes joining the show, there will be nine quarter-finalists instead of the usual eight. As a result, one winning fighter whom White determines has the worst performance in victory will not move to the next round. Ryan Hall defeated Frantz Slioa via submission (heel hook) in the first round. Faber announces the next fight: Chris Gruetzemacher vs. Sascha Sharma. Episode 3: Recognize the Enemy (September 23, 2015) UFC President Dana White tried to explain McGregor's unique approach to coaching his team. He doesn't show up for the morning sessions, which focuses on light training. However, McGregor always arrives for the evening session, which focuses on technique. The Team Faber coaches and fighters then have a night of relaxation where they watch T.J. Dillashaw's UFC on Fox 16 bout against Renan Barão. Dillashaw defended his UFC Bantamweight Championship at the event. Prior to the official weigh-ins for the Sharma/Gruetzmacher bout, McGregor and Faber have a conversation about Dillashaw's fight. McGregor says Faber should fight Dillashaw even though they are teammates. He says Dillashaw is “the only fight for you.” Faber indicates that he is not interested in the fight, but McGregor continues to pester him over the situation. Chris Gruetzemacher defeated Sascha Sharma via unanimous decision after three rounds. Faber announces the next fight: Tom Gallicchio vs. Marcin Wrzosek. Episode 4: A Faithless Foe (September 30, 2015) McGregor and Faber exchange words outside the dressing rooms and Faber tells McGregor that he should attend all team practices if he's going to be so angry about fight results. The coaches exchange words but McGregor remains firm in his stance that his role is not to babysit the athletes. At the next Team McGregor training session, McGregor begins to change his mind on his approach to coaching. He indicates he can't help but become emotionally invested in the fights. Team Faber's Johnny Nuñez, who was selected as one of the returning fighters after being defeated in the elimination round, decides to skip practice. Faber expresses frustration in the athlete at the evening training session. Marcin Wrzosek defeated Tom Gallicchio via unanimous decision after two rounds. McGregor announces the next fight: Saul Rogers vs. Billy Quarantillo.
