Four-Part Conor McGregor Documentary Series Set for Netflix Premiere on May 17

A four-part documentary series covering Conor McGregor’s career and return from a devastating broken leg will air on Netflix on May 17.

The series, which is entitled “McGregor Forever,” is produced by Religion of Sports and directed by Gotham Chopra. In the past, Chopra has worked on documentaries involving sports luminaries such as LeBron James and Tom Brady.

The synopsis from Netflix is as follows:

“As UFC champion Conor McGregor embarks on the most important point of his career, McGregor Forever charts his epic journey back to the top of the UFC ladder. This documentary series is an all-access look at this controversial superstar, along with the deeper history of what brought him to this point.”

The preview clip shows McGregor speaking from a hospital bed shortly after suffering a broken leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 on July 10, 2021. At the time, the former UFC two-division champion thought his fighting career might be finished.

“I thought it was over as well,” McGregor said. “I thought it was over as well, that’s why I flipped into a different mode. It was the adrenaline as well and I know I would have came down but part of me was thinking, Jesus, imagine it was taken from me like that, I would be a different person and it was a bit scary, to be honest with you.

“But it’s McGregor forever. That’s it. It’s done. It’s McGregor forever and don’t you forget it.”

McGregor recently completed taping for “The Ultimate Fighter 31,” where he coached opposite Michael Chandler. The Dublin native is expected to fight Chandler at a future UFC event, but a date for that bout has not been announced.
