The Notorious

As we have no UFC show to keep us entertained this weekend – how very dare they! I got around to reviewing Notorious, a documentary screened on RTE in Ireland, charting the rise of Irish UFC fighter Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor, following the preparation for his second UFC fight against Max Holloway, at UFC Fight Night 26, August 2013. This is huge when you actually stop and think about it. RTE, Ireland’s premier television channel, showed this on prime-time TV. Can you imagine the BBC showing a documentary on say, Michael Bisping, at 8pm on a Friday evening? It just wouldn’t happen in the UK, which is where Ireland differ from us, they love their sport and build their stars, and rightfully so. Fortunately, I’m a frequent visitor to the Emerald Isle and managed to catch this must-see, very inspiring show,
