Conor McGregor’s role in ‘Road House’ clearly left MMA fans wondering if there could be any other UFC star who could don the acting hat as well as the Irishman did.

The teaser gives the audience a glimpse of the fight scenes, teasing a story about an underground fighter played by Patel and his journey to avenge his mother. A look at the movie’s IMDB page also gives us a good idea of the movie’s plot.

But what remains unclear is whether Dustin Poirier is a part of the crew. The UFC star’s post also mentioned that it was an ad in partnership with the producers of ‘Monkey Man’.
