MCGREGOR FOREVER DOCUSERIES - A CHAT WITH DIRECTOR GOTHAM CHOPRA

A new Netflix documentary follows UFC star Conor McGregor's life.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to live the life as a UFC fighter, then you won’t want to miss the new docuseries, McGregor Forever.

The series gives us unbelievable access to McGregor, one of the UFC’s biggest stars. It follows the 34-year-old's journey from 2018-2021, including fights against Khabib Nurmagomedov, Donald Cerrone and Dustin Poirier.

During that time he experiences the birth of two children, a global pandemic, community service and the sale of his company, Proper No. Twelve whiskey. It is also a time when the former champion struggled to break back into the top tier of MMA, with three losses in four fights.

Across four episodes, director Gotham Chopra uses a combination of original and archive material to allow viewers unparalleled access to McGregor's life, in gyms and on yachts around the world.

The series is currently streaming on NETFLIX.
