On Tuesday, McGregor and Netflix announced a documentary that will follow McGregor’s challenge of returning to the octagon. The UFC star hasn’t been seen inside the cage since that horrific injury. However, the time is swiftly coming for the return of the Irish star. McGregor has been filming the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter.
