Conor McGregor shows off bloodied and battered hand after filming for film debut ahead of UFC comeback next year | The Sun

CONOR McGREGOR has shown off his bloodied and battered hand from filming Road House with Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Irishman's movie debut was confirmed for the Patrick Swayze reboot in August.


And he's working with big Hollywood actor, Gyllenhaal, on the film which is set to be released in early 2023.

In Gyllenhaal's remake, the American star plays the role of an ex-UFC fighter turned doorman tasked with cleaning up a notoriously rough bar.

It is not yet known what role UFC star McGregor will play and whether it will be fictional or as himself.

However, clearly the role comes with its fair share of cuts and scrapes as McGregor shared a picture to his Instagram of his bloodied and battered hand.
