“I’ve been fighting my entire life,” the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion says in the footage. “It’s what I was put here to do.”

The video also includes happier scenes, both in the ring and in his personal life, such as the 34-year-old Dublin-born athlete celebrating family moments with fiancée Dee Devlin.

“I don’t let defeat faze me,” he says. “The true champions rise again.”

McGregor Forever is directed by Religion of Sports co-founder Gotham Chopra. Chopra, Ameeth Sankaran, Giselle Parets, Audie Attar, Peter Berg and Matt Goldberg are executive producers.

A previously released clip showed McGregor grappling with what his life might be like if he is unable to continue fighting. McGregor explained about suffering his leg injury, “Part of me is thinking, ‘Jesus, imagine it was just taken from me like that.’ I would be a different person, and it was a bit scary, to be honest.”
