The director of Conor McGregor’s new Netflix doc McGregor Forever has said the UFC fighter is “unlike” anyone he has ever worked with.
The four-part hour-long episodes will be aired on Netflix on May 17 and the docuseries will be looking at McGregor’s epic journey back to the top of the UFC ladder.
Netflix describes it as “an all-access look at this controversial superstar, along with the deeper history of what brought him to this point.”

Director of McGregor Forever Gotham Chopra said: “Conor is unlike anyone I’ve ever collaborated with. As one of his trainers described him, he’s an entirely unreasonable man.
“And for that reason, he’s impossible not to watch and be fascinated by. Don’t look away, because I guarantee you, you will definitely miss something inexplicably wild."
The trailer previously showed McGregor recovering in a hospital bed after suffering a broken leg during his UFC 264 loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, along with pundits speculating on whether he is still capable of competing at an elite level.
The video also includes happier scenes, both in the ring and in his personal life, such as the 34-year-old Dublin-born athlete celebrating family moments with fiancée Dee Devlin.
“I’ve been fighting my entire life,” the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion says in the footage. “It’s what I was put here to do.”
A previously released clip showed McGregor grappling with what his life might be like if he is unable to continue fighting. McGregor explained about suffering his leg injury, “Part of me is thinking, ‘Jesus, imagine it was just taken from me like that.’ I would be a different person, and it was a bit scary, to be honest.”
McGregor Forever, co-directed by Darragh Mccarthy, will premiere on Netflix on May 17th.
