Conor McGregor & Jake Gyllenhaal Starrer ‘Road House’ Breaks Amazon Prime Record

Conor McGregor, first the biggest star in the UFC and now, a best-seller even in Hollywood. It looks like ‘The Notorious’ keeps hitting new and high numbers at every opportunity he gets. Road House, Conor McGregor’s first film, has joined the ranks of his many accolades.

Many on social media will also notice an uptick in new Conor McGregor memes. Yes, these scenes have become really viral due to their hilarity, now whether that was inspired or accidental is another tale altogether. But as of right now, UFC’s biggest star is breaking records on Amazon Prime.

Road House and Conor McGregor are a record-breaking pair

In a recent press release, it was revealed that Road House managed to get over 50 million worldwide viewers on Amazon Prime Video. And that’s just over its first two weekends on the streaming service. This means that it’s all Amazon MGM Studios’ highest-watched produced film debut.

As a debutant, Conor McGregor is surely doing well. Perhaps his fame from the UFC helped him out with the film an awful lot. That said, have you watched the film, Road House? Did you like it? There are many who love it and of course, just like any other film, there are those who are harsh critics of it all.

Many UFC fans mainly assembled on their screens to watch McGregor’s hilarious performance come through. And of course, there were those who were not able to enjoy it all because perhaps the rest of the film arguably fell behind. Either way, everyone’s opinion of it is subjective.

What is not subjective is whether or not Conor McGregor will return this coming Summer. While he has announced his return yet again, there is one UFC insider who believes that the Irishman should perhaps wait a little bit longer before coming back.

Should McGregor spend longer in camp?

Josh Thomson from the Weighin In podcast spoke up about how he believes that Conor McGregor might just need more time in training before coming back. He believes that so far, the camp that he’s been through is just about getting himself physically prepared but that may not be enough.

“I think I would be more impressed with knowing the dedication the time being put in,” Thomson said, “but I’m sorry you can’t take someone who’s been removed coming off of the nasty injury that he’s coming off of, and also compound that with the drinking, the partying, the clubbing, the all the whatever.”

He believes that all the travelling around that he’s done for his film will affect his body and he’ll need some good time just to get back in shape and go through a camp. It is after that that he can prepare to fight a specific opponent. What is your take on it? Let us know in the comments.
