The part about his knee injury, how he still took the fight vs Mendes was really cool but then I don't get the build-up and beating Nate in the 2nd fight by a decision was seen as such a great accomplishment that they made that part as the climax of the documentary.
Don't get me wrong, one of my favorite fights ever but c'mon~ Nate choked him out and embarrassed him and he super happy about the decision win? Not to mention hype effect of making Nate into some giant WW when Nate's a natural LW.
Not discrediting Conor in any way cuz he knows how to shine at the right fuckin time but he always DID have the back-up from the hype machine.
Watched last night. I really enjoyed. As a self-admitted Conor homer that is no surprise, but even as a documentary, I thought it was a great film. The amount of footage that had been captured early in his career was awesome to see - as if he were destined for where he has ended up. Also, Dee is a special girl: dedicated, understanding, a true partner, and very much not ugly.
I watched a documentary on him years ago before the UFC days where he was living in meagre accommodation and doing zen on the beach talking like Bruce Lee. Has it taken some of that?
