UFC Announcer Bruce Buffer Shares Surreal Experience With Jake Gyllenhaal After Initially Snubbing Him for Conor McGregor at UFC 285

UFC 285 had the most exciting fight card of the year so far. The fans were excited to see Jon Jones return after three years of absence. However, that was not the only fun part of the event. UFC pay-per-view king Conor McGregor and Hollywood star, Jake Gyllenhaal, also attended the event to film some scenes for their upcoming movie, ‘Road House’. Legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer reacted to it on social media.

Conor McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal are filming a remake of the 1989 movie of the same name, which was a cult classic. They first attended the weigh-in event for UFC 285, where Gyllenhaal showed his amazing physique and filmed the weigh-in scene for the movie.

Moreover, the ‘Southpaw’ actor also filmed a fight on the day of the pay-per-view along with former UFC fighter Jay Hieron. The crowd was happy to see the actor join in the fight week and showered their support all through the filming process. UFC announcer Bruce Buffer took to Twitter as he shared a post in that regard.

‘The Veteran Voice of the Octagon’ shared a tweet expressing his happiness and excitement at being a part of ‘Road House’. He mentioned the enjoyable moments while filming the fight scene on Saturday night. Buffer wrote: “Lots more happening at UFC 285 Saturday night as it was very cool filming the fight scene for the remake of the 1989 cult classic film Roadhouse starring Jake Gyllenhaal looking shredded playing the part Elwood Dalton fighting in the UFC Octagon along with Conor McGregor co-starring in the film also.”

ESPN MMA also posted Buffer’s video on Instagram.

However, an awkward moment took place when Gyllenhaal initially approached Bruce Buffer. But the legendary UFC announcer was occupied in a conversation with Conor McGregor. Therefore, he ignored the Hollywood superstar at first.

Jake Gyllenhaal might have felt embarrassed at that awkward moment and decided to look away and talk to the person sitting next to him. But in the end, Buffer turned to him as they greeted and hugged each other in a very wholesome moment. The Hollywood actor told him, “Thank you so much. You’re so f***ing cool.” The announcer replied by commending Gyllenhaal’s work. Buffer said, “You did a great job. It looked so f***ing real.”
