Ahead of a much-anticipated comeback later this year, Irish mixed martial artist champion Conor McGregor will give fans a behind the scenes look at his life in his forthcoming Netflix documentary.
McGregor Forever is released on May 17 and offers an insight into his childhood, with access-all-areas footage of his family and the medical team who helped him prepare for a return to the octagon.
The four-part series shows how McGregor got where he is, the motivation behind his drive to compete and how he handles criticism.
“It’s what I was put here to do,” says the 34-year-old, who sustained a horrific leg break in July 2021 in his UFC 264 loss against Dustin Powers.
Skeptics wondered if McGregor would still be able to compete at a high level post-injury, but the former dual ultimate fight champion, nicknamed ‘the notorious’, never questioned his comeback.
