The famous Hollywood actor Jake Gyllenhaal became one of the participants in the show weighing ceremony for the UFC 285 tournament, held in Las Vegas.
The film crew, who arrived with Gyllenhaal, used the stage to shoot one of the episodes of the film “Road House”, which is released in theaters this year. Judging by the context, the main character of the film is a former contender for the UFC middleweight title, Elwood Dalton, whose image was embodied on the screen by Gyllenhaal. His opponent, the reigning UFC champion, is played by former fighter of the strongest league in the world Jay Heron.
The show was not without Conor McGregor, who is a member of the cast of the film, who stepped on stage and prepared the audience for the shooting of the episode.
Road House is a remake of the 1980s cult action movie of the same name that tells the story of bouncer James Dalton, played by Patrick Swayze, who comes to a small provincial Missouri town to clean up a bar, but runs into a corrupt businessman and part-time leader of the local gangs.
Although the film, released in 1989, was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards, it did well at the box office, doubling its $15 million budget, and became a significant event in American culture: References to the film regularly appear in various cultural works – cinema, television films and animation.
