Jake Gyllenhaal was seen filming for his new film 'Roadhouse' at UFC 285. Before the actual event, the production crew created a fake weigh-in, as well as a fake fight inside the octagon. This allowed the film crew to capture the footage they needed in a setting that is as close as it gets to the real thing.
Roadhouse is a remake of a 1989 cult film starring Patrick Swayze and is being produced by Amazon Studios. Alongside Gyllenhaal are a number of popular figures in the MMA community.
Most notably, Conor 'The Notorious' McGregor has a part to play in the film. In the footage filmed at UFC 285, Gyllenhaal fights and defeats former UFC fighter Jay Hieron, who also has a role to play in the film.
