Conor McGregor: Notorious

Although completely one-sided, Conor McGregor: Notorious is still a highly immersive & thoroughly fascinating documentary that inspires, motivates & above all celebrates the rags-to-riches journey of the most charismatic MMA fighter to ever step into the octagon & delves deeper into the aura of the Irishman whose larger-than-life persona is unlike anything the world of mixed martial arts has ever seen.

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!

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.

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.

181218: Amazing athelite though I could do without some of his antics. Why do the greatest always seem to be a bit sideways? Looking back upon McGregor's successes was a wonderful experience, even if a bias exists in this production. He's done so much for raising the profile of MMA and the UFC. I noticed in his last fight with Nate Diaz, at the start of some of the rounds, McGregor can be seen offering to touch gloves (Nate does not even flinch from the task at hand). Always so much more to people than we see, know or are told. Not sure how a non-MMA fan would embrace this film, but for those with a passion, this production is a must see.
