<p>Filmed over the course of six months, this six-part series, will delve into the rapidly expanding world of mixed martial arts and, through Conor’s eyes, will explore the physical and mental strain a fighter has to go through to become a UFC champion.</p>
From Dublin to Rio, Las Vegas and finally Boston, we see how both McGregor’s reputation and skills in the octagon are matched by a personality and charisma that has captured the imagination of fans worldwide.
Over three fights, McGregor must contend not only with his opponents, but with injury, personal challenges, and the pressure that goes with immense popularity and expectation.
Catch the first episode of The Notorious, at 5:00 PM ET Monday January 26 online on the RTE player. If outside Ireland set proxy to Ireland. In Ireland? Tune in on Irish broadcaster RTÉ2 at 10pm GMT.
Directed by Patrick Timmons Ward, Camera by Gavin FitzGerald, Executive Produced by Conor McGregor. Produced by Motive Television and SevereMMA.com ( http://www.SevereMMA.com )

Da Ghost - more cheesy connor hype to build up for the ando fight!
hope this gives aldo all the motivation to smash this guy
all the great things aldo has achieved in his career and he has never been given this much support by the ufc
a spectacular win could be all aldo needs to turn this media attention into his favor
I think its only because Aldo doesn't speak English. Muricans buy the ppv and UFC needs to market to them. A guy speaking Portuguese doesn't do much to help that.
RTE plugging the shit out of it. No exaggeration to say that besides Rory McIlroy, McGregor is probably the biggest sporting star from this small island just now.
He has single handedly made this a mainstream sport in Ireland in just over a year. Incredible when you think about it. The amount of non mma fans on my Facebook page talking about him last Monday was impressive.
I'll be checking this out. If conor pulls out the win against Aldo, he will definitely reach superstar status and will be the biggest name in MMA today....for sure.
This documentary has nothing to do with the UFC or the Aldo fight. Commissioned by RTE (the national broadcaster in Ireland) and has been filming for over a year. A long time before the Aldo fight even seemed a realistic possibility.

My thoughts exactly. My newsfeed is full of people talking about McGregor and yet they've never watched the UFC before 2014. It's crazy how he has made it so popular.
I've been trying to get all of my college friends to come watch fights with me for years. 2 people showed up for Weidman/Silva 2. 2 people showed up for Bones/Cormier. I didn't have enough seats last Sunday night, there were at least 7 people there drinking and watching this little Irish dude the whole time. Conor is definitely a game changer, and I think its great what he's doing for the sport
