Roadhouse Trailer: Conor McGregor Reacts as His Fight Scene With ‘Brother’ Jake Gyllenhaal in the Hollywood Debut Gets Revealed

Conor McGregor is a showman and not with his way inside the cage. The Irishman became the first MMA star to break into the mainstream and become a pop culture icon owing to his flair, theatrics, and exceptional mic skills. Even Jon Jones has credited the Irishman for having “fast forwarded this whole game up at least ten years”.

And McGregor has found another good use for his skills and is set to make his acting debut this year. Even as his self-announced UFC 302 return has been slapped down by UFC CEO Dana White, the Irishman has shared an update on the film.

Conor McGregor shares the trailer of the film starring him

Conor McGregor finished shooting for a major Hollywood project last month. ‘Notorious’ will make his big screen debut with Jake Gyllenhaal in a remake of the 80’s action classic, ‘Roadhouse’. McGregor will not appear as himself in the film but will play a fictional character in the film.

Gyllenhaal had recently revealed on Instagram that the post-production for the film was nearing an end, and it seems the film is in its final stages as the first trailer for the film has been released. McGregor shared the trailer on his Twitter account and promised his acting debut would make a splash.

“Fighting, acting, there’s nothing this Mac can’t do! Here’s the trailer featuring my brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, and me going toe-to-toe in the wildest action movie ever – Road House! My acting debut is gonna leave a mark! Long live Knox!” Road House is open for business March 21 on @primevideo. #RoadHouseMovie,” he tweeted.

‘Mac’ revealed that the film is scheduled for a late March release even as uncertainty remains around his UFC return.

Dana White slaps down the return of the ‘Mac’ in June

On New Year’s Eve, Conor McGregor announced that he will return to the UFC after nearly three years on June 29 against rival TUF coach Michael Chandler. The bombastic Irishman has been out of the octagon for over two years, recovering from a horrific broken leg he suffered in his UFC 264 loss to Dustin Poirier. Nevertheless, this has been contradicted by Dana White at the UFC 297 press conference.

While he did not go into the reasons behind the hold-up, the UFC CEO made a cryptic statement that the UFC would announce a date for ‘Notorious’s return when the latter was “ready”. This means McGregor will not fight until at least July, with questions being raised around if he wants to return at all or if he wants to avoid facing Chandler, who has promised to break ‘Mac’s jaw, and spirit and retire him.
