Conor McGregor: Notorious

Considering myself a Conor fan I enjoyed the documentary but honestly as a MMA fighter I was lookin for some more insiders of his training methods. Not disappointed but surely I expected more details. However if you are a UFC fan you should take the time and watch it!

It's hard to fault this movie. Whatever you might think of him, his arrogance, it seems to make sense when you see how hard he has worked to be where he is. Very inspiring, highlighting some of his achievements and the way the movie captures clips of him before his success, it is as if he knew all along that he would one day be a household name. Watch it when you feel demotivated.

Gavin Fitzgerald's documentary moves almost as fast as its subject. It's a tightly edited masterclass in visceral storytelling; eschewing voice over and heavy handed editorializing, Notorious shows how the Dublin lad become a superstar through work, willpower and wit. McGregor's sins - that the sport he dominates is violent, that he talks loud - remain unforgivable to some, but Notorious wastes no time with begrudgers. It's too busy telling a story with as much drama as a cage fight. Check it out, fight fans.

I enjoyed this documentary on Connor McGregor, It shows how he came from nothing and you get an insight on what his career has been like from bottom to the top.

I was actually very surprised to see the amount of footage in camera time McGregor actually had in this documentary. I initially assumed that it would be just clips of him fighting and nothing much else. But, there is a cameraman that follows McGregor throughout his early career (before the Mendes fight) and shows you what his training is like, sparring with others and his home life. What I personally found most interesting is what Conor and his trainers were like right before and after the fights. This doc gave me a real insight to how not just Conor but all UFC fighters are treated and how they behave before fights and press conferences etc.

Just some things I would have liked (didn't really take anything away from this documentary): More time with John Kavanagh and a bit more in depth into Conor's training methods etc and for the documentary to have gone up to the Eddie Alvarez fight, where he became double champ (obviously they had stopped filming after Diaz 2, but it just would have been cool to see Conor behind the scenes with two belts).

But, if you love Conor or just simply love the UFC I highly recommend as it gives fantastic insights into the lives of fighters.
