Conor McGregor is going to have a “smashing time” fighting. Unfortunately, the fight will be limited to the screen only. With the release date for ‘Road House’ clocking in every passing second, ‘The Notorious’ is building the hype for his film with no holds barred.

He is, after all, the greatest showman the UFC has ever had. As such, his Hollywood debut has caused much uproar among the fandom. The film is a reiteration of the 1989 film starring legends like Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot. This time, Dalton’s adventures will be led by Hollywood A-lister Jake Gyllenhaal.

In an iconic clip that comes from the trailer, Conor McGregor’s character, ‘Knox’ can be seen entering the bar where Dalton works and wreaking havoc. So his character is not all that different from the Irishman’s usual persona within the cage. Of course, McGregor shared the clip once again for promotional purposes.

And fans were still amazed. Meanwhile, any solid information about McGregor’s actual return to the UFC still remains a mystery. The former UFC champion may have taken a keen interest in acting, but in the end, the majority of the fanfare is for his skills inside the cage. Will he return soon?

There’s really no way to tell. His opponent-to-be, Michael Chandler has issued one callout after another, and all of it to no avail. Meanwhile, fans on Instagram can’t decide whether they prefer him on the screen or in the cage. Here’s more.

Weary from waiting, fans just want Conor McGregor one way or another

Conor McGregor and his fan base are perhaps inseparable. Whether it’s his bid to run for Ireland’s president, fight Chandler, or star in a Hollywood flick, his fans are always behind him. Here are some of their takes from the Instagram post.

“Bro just playing himself.”

“Conor McGregor as Conor McGregor”

Some believed the actor was being a natural. For others, it was a moment to remember this iconic McGregor quote.

“Conor is not a celebrity he is somone who got payed to smash faces and bounce.”
