Netflix released the documentary of Conor McGregor on their platform last month. The director Gotham Chopra got most of the creative control, and McGregor had no say in the creative stuff. Rising UFC star Khamzat Chimaev took to social media to appreciate the documentary for its humble approach.

The documentary highlights the aftermath of the Khabib Nurmagomedov fight in 2018. Conor faced the wrath of the Dagestani as the two locked heads at UFC 229. The highly anticipated fight ended in an upsetting defeat for McGregor and a life-changing victory for Nurmagomedov, who submitted McGregor in the fourth round.

The documentary covered his reaction when Khabib announced his retirement in 2020. Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier competed twice in 2021. Dustin retaliated with a second-round knockdown at UFC 257 after losing the first round. McGregor wanted revenge and returned to the octagon for the International Fight Week card. However, McGregor suffered a devastating leg injury at the end of the first round. The documentary revealed a vulnerable moment of the UFC superstar as he feared for his fighting career.

With just six UFC fights, Khamzat Chimaev has become a rising star in the promotion. Khamzat won all his fights and has a professional record of 12 wins and 0 losses. As the ‘Borz’ revealed watching the McGregor documentary, fans pushed for a union between the two fighters. Chimaev has a similar trajectory to the Irish superstar in terms of their rise in the company.
