Bouncer – Jake Gyllenhaal shows off his muscles at the UFC competition. Behind the scenes video

road house is a remake of The Bouncer, a cult action film from 1989 starring Patrick Swayze. In the new version we will see Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor. It is worth recalling that the former Irish MMA fighter is supposedly not playing himself, but a fictional character. Doug Liman is behind the camera.
Classic Bouncer was about Dalton, who came to the small town of Jasper, Missouri, with a special mission: to bring order to the Double Deuce bar, which was overrun by a bunch of thugs. In turn, in the remake, Gyllenhaal plays a character who is a former MMA fighter. The hero accepts a job as a bouncer in a run-down inn in the Florida Keys. He quickly discovers that the tropical paradise is not what it seems.
At UFC 285 in Las Vegas on Friday, March 3, a weigh-in scene was filmed for the film. Jake Gyllenhaal presented a sculpted figure, and then Jay Hieron, a former UFC fighter who plays the main character’s opponent, was on the podium. There was a clash between the characters, which was part of the script. Check out the full scene below.
