MOSCOW, Aug 3 Irish ex-champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in two weight categories, Conor McGregor will play one of the roles in a remake of the Hollywood action movie of the 80s «Roadhouse», according to Deadline. In a new interpretation, the film will tell the story of a former UFC fighter, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, who got a job as a bouncer in a Florida eatery, but soon discovering that all is not as it seems in this tropical paradise. It is noted that McGregor will play the original character, not himself. The film will be directed by Doug Liman. McGregor is 34 years old. In July 2021, he suffered a broken leg in his third fight against American Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 and has not fought a single fight since. He has 22 wins and six losses to his credit, and previously held UFC championship belts in the lightweight and featherweight divisions.
