Conor McGregor shares behind the scenes footage of him and Jake Gyllenhaal practising epic Road House fight scene

Conor McGregor has shared footage from his first time on a movie set.

The former dual-weight UFC champion recently angered Joe Rogan by claiming that acting in a remake of Road House was harder than being a world-class fighter.

Just days later, ‘Notorious’ shared a behind the scenes video showing the hard work he and his co-star, Jake Gyllenhaal, put into their epic film-ending fight scene.

“Proper graft,” he captioned the post originally shared by Prime Video.

It shows McGregor taking a leading role in directing the scene as he talks Gyllenhaal through the strikes while a bunch of film executives watch on and chime in when needed.

The clip also puts the stuff they are working on alongside the finished product, which has been available to stream on Prime Video since March 21.

McGregor has received critical acclaim for his first acting performance, and now fans are making their feelings about his role in Road House clear.

One person commented: “For someone who’s never done acting before to do such a big movie and be one of the main characters and perform it well! Hats off to Conor.”

Another said: “Conor McGregor would make a great coach one day.”

A third person added: “Finally some proper fight scenes where we can see what’s happening.”

Someone else wrote: “Conor is a good villain.”

UFC flyweight champion Alexander Pantoja praised his colleague, saying: “I just watched it, the fight scenes are amazing, great.”

Despite all the adoration, McGregor recently told talKSPORT that he has no plans to star in another film as he is fully focused on returning to MMA as soon as possible.

Lightweight contender Michael Chandler claims an ‘official announcement’ about his long-discussed fight with McGregor is coming soon ahead of their clash this summer.

It’s now just a matter of waiting for UFC CEO Dana White to confirm exactly when and where McGregor will return to the Octagon following a three-year injury layoff.
