‘The Rise of Conor McGregor’, a documentary charting the success of the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight champion, launches on Tuesday, March 5, 2013.

McGregor made history in his hometown of Dublin on New Year’s Eve by defeating Ivan Buchinger at Cage Warriors 51 with a stunning first-round KO, which saw him become the first fighter to simultaneously hold CWFC titles in two unified weight classes.

The 24-year-old Irishman was subsequently signed by the UFC and will make his debut in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 6.

Produced by Demetrio Marquez for MTV UK and Cage Warriors Fighting Championship, watch full documentary ‘The Rise of Conor McGregor’ below.
