Produced by Motive Television, ‘Reality Bites: The Notorious’ has been acquired by Fox Sports in the U.S. and will be broadcast in a primetime slot on the 8th January.

The documentary will broadcast on America's largest sports network in the lead up to Conor McGregor's next fight in Boston on the 18th of January. The DVD of the one hour documentary will also be launched nationwide this weekend (5th December).

The documentary is directed by Patrick Timmons Ward, filmed by Gavin Fitzgerald, edited by Mick Mahon, associate producer is Graeme McDonnell, Executive Producers are Anne McLoughlin & Conor McGregor and the Series Producer is Jamie D'Alton.

Meanwhile Conor McGregor returns to RTÉ in January for ‘The Notorious - The Series’. Commissioned by Bill Malone and Eddie Doyle for RTÉ Two, this six part series spends six months with Conor McGregor, his family and entourage as Ireland’s most talked about sports person continues his quest for UFC and world domination.

Series Producer Jamie D’Alton said: ‘We are delighted that Fox Sports have acquired our Conor McGregor documentary 'The Notorious'. The documentary gives a rare insight into one of Ireland's most talked about sports people showcasing Conor's unique blend of talent, personality and self-belief. With a total reach of 90 million homes, Fox Sports is one of America's largest sports networks & their decision to acquire the documentary for peak time demonstrates both the quality of the programme and how big of a star Conor McGregor has become. Motive Television are thrilled to continue to work with Conor & Severe MMA as we produce a follow up six part series for RTÉ2 giving Conor McGregor fans exclusive behind the scenes access to the ultra-competitive world of the UFC.’

In other Motive Television news, the company has recently sold ‘Darndale - The Edge Of Town’ to Channel 5 in the UK.
