New Conor McGregor documentary shows UFC star in hospital after horror injury

Conor McGregor has shared a teaser trailer for his upcoming documentary with the feature set to hit Netflix on May 17.

McGregor has hinted at the documentary's existence for a while and finally shared a sneak peek of what to expect.

In a minute-long clip, McGregor can be seen in a hospital bed shortly after his horror leg break against Dustin Poirier in 2021.

The Dubliner fought in Las Vegas in July 2021 in a trilogy bout against Poirier and the fight was ended abruptly after McGregor suffered a nasty injury that has seen him sidelined for nearly two years.

And the former two-time UFC champion can be seen speaking to camera from his hospital bed after his surgery.

He said: "I thought it was over as well, that is why I flipped into a different mode.

"Now it was the adrenaline as well and I would have calmed down but part of me is like 'imagine it was just taken from me like that'. I would be a different person and it was a bit scary to be honest.

"But it's McGregor forever that's it and don't you forget it."

The Dubliner has a busy year ahead with the release of this documentary as well as his movie debut in Roadhouse and will return to the octagon against Michael Chandler before the end of 2023.
