Conor McGregor looks massive in the first ‘Road House’ stills.
Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor is absolutely massive in stills from the remake of the classic movie “Road House.” The film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and McGregor has no release date yet, but they began filming on August 23.
McGregor shared several stills from the set, including him in a body of water and a still of him and Gyllenhaal in a raft. He also shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the pair between takes.

McGregor has been seen bulking up for the role for some time, and even removed himself from the USADA testing pool, raising eyebrows from fighters and fans about the fairness of him potentially using steroids between fights.
He hasn’t been seen in the Octagon since his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021 where he suffered a graphic ankle break that has sidelined him ever since.
The “Road House” aired in 1986 and starred Patrick Swayze. There’s no word on what character McGregor will play in the remake.
