Before Jon Jones took over the T-Mobile Facility on Saturday night and reestablished himself as a champion, the arena witnessed a brutal flying KO delivered by Jake Gyllenhaal. UFC 285 assured the fans of a mouth-watering fight and also became a site of a Hollywood project. Notably, Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor starrer, Road House, appropriated the Las Vegas settings to shoot some scenes for the upcoming movie.

While the Irishman gatecrashed the ceremonial weighing earlier, the Hollywood actor’s shredded physique shocked fans alike. Later on, Gyllenhaal shot a walkout scene during the event. However, UFC president Dana White had a different take on Gyllenhaal’s physique.

The 53-year-old at the post-event press conference disclosed the bonuses and also suggested some future fights. In addition, he couldn’t escape the questions about the project the UFC had recently tied up with.
