UFC superstar Conor McGregor has given his fans a small taste of what they can expect when he appears in the Road House movie remake.
McGregor will star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House, a remake of the 1989 Hollywood classic. A release date for the film has yet to be announced as filming is in production.
This will be McGregor’s first appearance on the big screens after a successful Proper 12 Irish Whiskey business and other assets. He’s also anticipating a UFC return later this year, potentially against Michael Chandler or another top name.
Road House is an action film that features the story of a Missouri bar under siege by a corrupt businessman. The 1989 original starred Patrick Swayze and Kelly Lynch, to name a few.
Ahead of his Hollywood showcase, McGregor teased what his character will look like in the movie.

McGregor produced a documentary on his UFC rise, entitled Conor McGregor: Notorious, which released in 2017. The documentary gave behind-the-scenes looks at his fights with Nate Diaz and his featherweight title win against José Aldo
McGregor is expected to have a busy 2023 in and out of the Octagon, and he’s already shown he’s fully invested in promoting his upcoming film.
