Conor McGregor is set to release a Netflix documentary on May 17 and the show is expected to show viewers the Irishman's journey as an MMA fighter over the past few years.

The series will be available to stream just weeks ahead of McGregor's highly anticipated appearance as a coach on the next installment of The Ultimate Fighter opposite Michael Chandler. 'The Notorious' is also set to make his long-awaited return to the octagon against Chandler later this year.

Conor McGregor had been sidelined for over two years following a brutal leg fracture he suffered in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The trailer of 'McGregor Forever' includes a scene showing the aftermath of the leg-snapping incident and McGregor's subsequent state of mind.

McGregor has also previously confirmed that he is the executive producer for the docuseries.
