McGregor Forever

McGregor is very likeable in this. All sports fans have seen McGregor's famous press conferences and some of his sports highlights. This is a great insight into the behind the scenes of the most influential MMA athlete ever.

It's enjoyable to see McGregor act humble and normal outside of his press conferences. He is a hard working father. Even haters will likely see McGregor in a different light after watching this. I used to think that he was not very nice, but after seeing this miniseries I appreciate him. He is a phenomenal athlete, entertainer and father. Say what you want about him but he sells tickets.

The episodes are very well shot. Fighting rarely look more beautiful than this. McGregor's training, fighting, movement and agility are beautiful to look at. So this is why it's called martial ARTS.

Good stuff first - Mcgregor when he's a down to earth family man and honourable and humble martial artist is PEAK Mcgregor. I find the moments when he's a loving father and husband and just a normal person far better than when he acts like a glorified thug with money. The series covers a very interesting period in his life, basically post Mayweather when he had it all - a treat for superfans.

However this whole series just screams ego-project, and feels pretty revisionist.

Episode 1 completely downplayed Conors inexcusable antics during his Khabib rivalry and Dana is portrayed as almost sycophantic to him after the fight.

An interview said that the fight "bought out the worst" in Mcgregor and Khabib, as if Khabib's "worst" was somehow remotely on the same level. Mcgregor was essentially portrayed as just 'not being himself' instead of a completely unhinged maniac. He said and did some really bad things during the rivalry that just aren't shown here. Let alone his ridiculous Twitter activity.

Episode 2 also naturally ignores the fact that Cowboy was on a 2 fight losing streak before the fight and past his prime, but sure. The ep made the fight look a lot more competitive than it actually was, and basically made it look like Conor had overcome some sort of impossible odds, when in reality, the Cowboy bout was clearly put together to make Connor look good again.

Wasn't much to cover with ep 3, but ep 4 gives an interesting prelude to what led to his recent injury, despite yet again trying to excuse/cover up his bizarre behaviour pre and post fight against Dustin Poirier.

Overall this series won't do much to win back lost fans, but those who are still on the Mcgregor train will probably get a good kick out of this. Just go in knowing the facts aren't all there and that naturally, Khabib, Cerrone and Dustin's perspectives are totally nonexistent.

Yea yea it may be inspirational at times. But what it also is incredibly repetitive as they use Conor's interviews where his thoughts really repeat on cycle. It's not like the guy is full of clever quotes and deep thoughts.

Also, it's selective in it's approach in covering the events. It's magnifying some that the producers want to emphasise and diminishing other events they're not too keen on. It's not a documentary, it's a subjective Conor promo movie that lacks the impartial view of things. In the end you're left wondering what was the point of this 4 eposode docuseries and why did they stop there.

A fascinating insight into the live of Conor McGregor. You can't doubt his hunger and drive, and this documentary shows the genuine side to the man. He's actually quite likeable, and not only 100% dedicated to the sport but also his family. He's also driven to being successful in business/his personal wealth. Although he has plenty in the bank, he keeps talking about hitting "his number". Some might call it greedy but I personally admire the drive. If you can why not grab everything you can before it's all over.

However, this documentary covers four fights, and he loses three. If anything it leaves you wondering if his best days are behind him, and he should now just give it up before he's seriously hurt.

Wonderful documentary about the most popular MMA fighter!

I'm already a bug UFC Fan and I watch all the fights for years now. So, I've already known which fights he'll win or lose.

But still, it was nice to see a little bit more behind the scenes-stuff and it's visually very well done. The balance about training and fights was well balanced with the life outside the gym and octagon.

For me, it could've been filmed even more insights in his personal life and about his charity work.

But I guess for people who are new to MMA, this might be the perfect documentary to make them curious about this sport.

It was also not too long, 4 episodes in a good length.

Enjoy! :)
