Whether you're a fan of McGregor or not, it's great insight to a fighters mindset. It is a great story of coming from nothing and being a double world champion. Very inspiring and its own right. Yes, not exclusive to McGregor but it is his story after all. He was very intuitive to capitalize on his notoriety and his brand. That has put him in the stratosphere of fighters. That is the real story here. Even in spite of his losses, he has set himself up for the rest of his life financially. Most fighters only dream of that type of success, and most never reach it. Intuitively, he knew that entertainment is equally as important as being a great fighter. He was able to capture peoples attention, good, or bad, and capitalize on it. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, nonetheless, it did happen, and he gained a greater platform because of it. It also seems like right, when you thought public opinion was going to turn against him, he would end up doing something proper and redeem himself. He is now matured and comes across as a man, but he certainly comes across as someone with that competitiveness to him. Gotta give him credit where it's due. He came in and did exactly what he said he was going to do and became double champion in the face of an entire international organization. Yes, I agree with other posters, hear that these documentaries can be self-serving, but I think he has shown enough of himself, especially with the old clips of who he was then and the road he has traveled to the present day. I will say his best days are behind him. Reminds me of one of the movies in the rocky series. The champ become wealthy, soft, and it's very hard to get that fire that drive back when you have it all. Overall, this has been well done.

There are YouTube videos and UFC clips that have better content and substance than this. There are is some interesting footage but it was obvious they didnt have enough material. His humble beginnings aside we had no deep coverage of the Aldo fight, we had 15 seconds reel of the Maywheather giga fight in the end....all the crazy stuff that probably had alot of interesting behind the scenes stories was not covered. Granted this was filmed in 2017 but still it fell short and im a big fan of his.

It is a good documentary about Conor's day to day lie. It is very interesting as well.

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.
