“I thought it was over too – that’s why I switched to a different mode,” McGregor says of concerns the match could end his career. “Now, it was the adrenaline too, and I know I would have calmed down, and part of me thinks, ‘Jesus, imagine if it was taken from me like that.’ I would be a different person, and it was a little scary, to be honest.”
He adds, “Like a stone, it’s McGregor forever, and don’t forget it.”
The Irish athlete Posted the trailer to his Instagram page with the message, “The only place to hear my true story, that’s just beginning!”

As one of his trainers described him, he is a completely unreasonable man,” Chopra said in a statement. “And for that reason, it’s impossible not to look at him and be fascinated. Don’t look away, because I guarantee you’re sure to miss something inexplicably wild.
