Previously, he had discussed a rough timeline for the documentary to be released in 2024 summer. In his latest post he confirmed it, Nurmagomedov wrote:
“The Documentary will be released in Summer 2024, inshallah [Translated from Russian]“
Considering Nurmagomedov’s post, it is sure that the documentary aims to provide the fans with previously unseen aspects of Eagle’s personal and professional life.
Despite such a positive wave of feeling amongst fans, Nurmagomedov’s fierce rival Conor McGregor wasn’t impressed and reacted with a 5-word bomb to the documentary announcement.

The Irishman had his own documentary ‘McGregor Forever‘ released on Netflix earlier this year. The announcement of Khabib’s documentary became viral instantaneously and came to the notice of ‘The Notorious’. McGregor gave his negative reaction to the documentary through his Tweet before deleting it. He wrote:
“Po* on bus. The story.”
Despite McGregor’s swift efforts to remove the Tweet, some fans took a screenshot and uploaded it on social media. McGregor, due to his history with Nurmagomedov, was never going to praise his documentary.
However, fans are already excited by the mere announcement of the new project and can’t wait to watch previously unseen footage of The Eagle’s private life.
