McGregor Forever Season 1

 The documentary "McGregor Forever" provides a behind-the-scenes look at an amazing boxer in one of the world's fastest-growing sports. Conor "Notorious" McGregor is the person who introduced a generation of new fans to mixed martial arts (MMA), altered the nature of the sport, and influenced the course of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) for years to come. He has lived up to his nickname by stirring up controversy when promoting his fights and frequently left no stone unturned as he worked the mic to play mind games with his rivals. His appearances became must-watch television as a result of the fans' fervour for it. 

Even better, the Irish-born fighter could back it up in the Octagon by defeating opponents in frequently jaw-dropping ways, putting his money where his mouth was. Conor McGregor would gain notoriety, enter popular culture, and rise to become one of the highest-paid athletes in the world.

But the fight game is unpredictable, and careers frequently shift in a split second. Everyone was disappointed by McGregor's defeat against Khabib Nurmagomedov and the uproar that followed. Although McGregor has lost matches in the Octagon of the UFC before, this one was different because Nurmagomedov and McGregor did not hold back in their attacks on one another. 

It all came to a head at UFC 229 (2018) in Las Vegas, one of the most popular pay-per-view events in UFC history, as tension grew as the coaches and trainers in each camp spat barbs on social media. The first episode of this short-lived series offers us a novel perspective on McGregor's preparation camp and a window into his mind. For anyone who watched the battle live on television, previously unreleased video of the difficulties he encountered in preparation for it and its now-famous aftermath is sure to be thrilling. The series gets off to a fantastic start, but there is a problem.

Three years later, in a highly anticipated rematch with Dustin Poirier after both had previously defeated the other, Conor McGregor would break his left tibia and fibula. Following McGregor's horrifying injury and subsequent surgery to repair the fractures, the show decides to begin. Because people who follow the sport are aware that the man has since left the fight game, it provides a strangely ominous tone for the rest of the series. Each episode follows him, his trainers, and coaches as they talk about the challenges and expectations of the fight game. Despite making plenty of money through his commercial endeavours, McGregor's passion for the sport is evident.

But after a while, it turns into a lather, rinse, repeat strategy with references to his family, training regimens, and memorable phrases about success and failure. This doesn't diminish McGregor's champion-focused strategy per se; rather, it highlights the dreadful creative decision to stuff four episodes with little fresh material that will interest sports viewers. A more focused edit would eliminate the slack and highlight the qualities that make McGregor unique among his contemporaries in and outside of MMA. Fans of the Notorious One will, however, undoubtedly appreciate receiving as much of a legend who has been out of the spotlight for far too long. At the very least, "McGregor Forever" serves as an excellent reminder of his importance as he gets ready for his comeback.
