Conor McGregor lands role in ‘Road House’ remake

Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor has landed his first acting job in a major studio for a remake of the classic action “Road House.”

He is set to join Jake Gyllenhaal, according to a report by Deadline.

The new take on the movie focuses on a former UFC fighter Gyllenhaal who takes a job at a roadhouse in Florida.

McGregor, meanwhile, will play an original character and not himself in the movie, according to the report.

McGregor, 34, has suffered back-to-back losses at the hands of Dustin Poirier.

In his last outing, he suffered a freak leg injury during the fight which led to him losing via technical knockout.

The Irish mixed martial arts superstar has gone 1-3 in his last four fights and holds a record of 22-6. – RC, GMA News
