Jon Jones is set to return to the octagon Saturday night to take on Ciryl Gane for the heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 285.
But, no, if you were just casually paying attention, sorry to say that Gyllenhaal won’t be fighting Saturday night. And, yes, the actor was absolutely shredded. But if you were paying attention to the weigh-ins Saturday you might have seen a guy step onto the scales you were not expecting.
Jake Gyllenhaal is playing an MMA fighter in the upcoming 'Road House' remake and just filmed a scene showing off his physique at a UFC event.
Controversial UFC figure Conor McGregor also played a role in the scene, and is believed to have been cast as a henchman of the film's primary antagonist. A video of the actor shared by ESPN MMA just went viral, in which he can be seen shedding his short and showing off his lean, ripped physique while filming a scene from an upcoming movie at the UFC 285 event in Las Vegas. Stills from the clip are now all over the internet, showing Gyllenhaal flexing and mugging for the crowd during the ceremonial weigh-in, before squaring up to UFC champion Jay Hieron ahead of a fictitious "Dalton vs Harris" fight that will be a part of the movie.
Gyllenhaal was joined by Conor McGregor at UFC 285 weigh-ins to shoot a scene for the upcoming movie.
