10/10
Genuine, unfiltered masterpiece
18 May 2023
For someone as famous and successful as Conor McGregor (arguably the biggest combat sports superstar/athlete of all time), it's very rare that we get to see and/or learn something about him that we haven't already.

And yet, this documentary mini-series is filled with never seen before footage; interviews, conversations and interactions between Conor and his family, friends, coaches, and most importantly - himself.

It's just a shame that Conor had no creative input/control over the documentary so they apparently left some stuff out that he would have liked to show, but nevertheless it's a great watch.

The 4 episodes cover just a small chunk of The Notorious' life and career (focusing on the last couple of years), but still delivers incredible insight into the life and mind of a fighter.

  • Injuries and mental struggles (most of which were undisclosed and rarely mentioned, let alone used as an excuse for poor results - even in this series some of the injuries are briefly shown and then moved on from)
  • Everyday sacrifices and commitment of a lifelong martial artist
  • Inspiring internal dialogue and conflict, competitive drive


This documentary is a must-see for not just every athlete and combat sports fan, but every human being in my opinion.
