Conor McGregor reacts as first poster for Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House is unveiled
Irish superstar Conor McGregor has shared his thoughts on the newly released poster for Road House, his upcoming film.
'The Notorious' is all set to make his acting debut in the highly anticipated remake of the 1989 cult classic. The film will feature Hollywood actor Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role.
The first poster for the film was unveiled on social media. McGregor shared his reaction to the poster, saying:
"I hate to have to mess up that pretty face for you all."
Check out Conor McGregor's response below:
McGregor has been out of action for quite some time. His last fight took place over two years ago. The Irishman took on Dustin Poirier in a trilogy fight at UFC 264 in July 2021. The fight ended on an unfortunate note as McGregor suffered a horrific leg injury at the end of the first round, resulting in the fight being stopped. 'The Diamond' was declared the winner by TKO via doctor stoppage.
McGregor has since appeared as a coach on the UFC's reality show, The Ultimate Fighter. He coached opposite Michael Chander, and the two were expected to fight later in the same year, but the bout did not become a reality.
McGregor recently uploaded a post and said that he will make his octagon return in June 2024 during the International Fight Week. 'The Notorious' also announced that he would be sharing the octagon with Chandler in his comeback fight.
Despite the announcement from McGregor, there has been no official confirmation of the bout.
