Commercial Success

Despite some criticism and being exclusively shown on Prime Video, “Road House” managed to draw significant revenue, breaking viewing records on the platform. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor is preparing for his return to the octagon at UFC 303, where he will face Michael Chandler. Nonetheless, he has expressed a keen interest in pursuing more film roles in the future, as his experience with “Road House” was particularly exhilarating.

Conor McGregor told People about his role in the film: “It wasn’t pretend fighting. I don’t think so. As a man whose profession is fighting, it was very, very real. Real punches were thrown. I landed one, he returned one, and then the stuntmen would sometimes step in to take some big hits too. I haven’t seen a movie where the punches are so real because it was for real. So I had a great time.”

Upcoming Match

Conor McGregor is gearing up for UFC 303 in the United States. Here, he will be facing Michael Chandler in a highly anticipated bout. This event is sure to attract significant attention, balancing his career between the octagon and the big screen.
