'The Notorious' series is going down very well in the US: 'The best thing on TV!'

It’s been airing on FOX Sports 1 this week.

HAVING BEEN EXTREMELY well received when it aired on RTÉ earlier this year, ‘The Notorious’ documentary series has hit the small screen in the US this week.

Produced by Conor McGregor himself, in tandem with Motive Television and the folks behind Irish MMA website SevereMMA.com, the six-part series follows the Ultimate Fighting Championship star on his path to a UFC title shot. This July, McGregor will take on reigning UFC featherweight world champion Jose Aldo at UFC 189 in Las Vegas.

The 26-year-old Dubliner tends to divide opinion, but the Stateside reaction to ‘The Notorious’ appears to be overwhelmingly positive. The show is being broadcast on Fox Sports 1 throughout the week.

#TheNotorious airs TONIGHT on @FoxSports1 at 9.30pm! Primetime slots are my favourite. https://t.co/jrc8FD0red
