Jake Gyllenhaal stuns UFC world again with brutal knockout win at UFC 285

Jake Gyllenhaal has stunned the UFC world for the second time in as many days with a brutal ‘knockout’ win on the UFC 285 undercard.

The Hollywood actor turned heads on Saturday when he appeared at the weigh in, where he was filming a scene for the remake of the cult classic film Road House.

The film, first made in 1989, starred Patrick Swayze as a bouncer at a roadside bar who goes to war with an evil businessman.

But the 2023 version is set to reimagine the story with a former UFC fighter, played by Gyllenhaal, taking the main role in the film. And the UFC wanted in on the action.

Gyllenhaal, who plays Elwood Dalton, left fans stunned as the Hollywood star weighed in for the fictional middleweight title bout against champion Jax Harris, cutting an absolutely shredded figure.

And the 42-year-old wowed MMA fans once again when he stepped in the octagon at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on Sunday (AEDT) to film another scene.

A pumped-up Gyllenhall was seen doing a full walkout to the ring, before he proceeded to secure a vicious knockout win over his opponent.

He was taking on Jay Hieron, who is playing Harris in the fictional middleweight bout.

Gyllenhaal won the faux fight, absorbing a couple of blows before launching into Hieron with an uppercut and a flying knee kick.

He even finished the job with extra punches, pushing away the referee who tried to step in to stop the fight.

The scene also featured famed UFC announce Bruce Buffer and MMA referee Chris Tognoni.

Earlier at the weigh-in scene, Gyllenhaal and his co-star Hieron faced off, and it ended with the star slapping his rival.

Gyllenhaal as Dalton spoke to commentator Jon Anik and said: “I can’t believe I trained six weeks for this s**t, to fight this piece of s**t. Just give me the belt now. C’mon motherf**ker, let’s go.”

Gyllenhaal wasn’t the only one to gatecrash the UFC weigh in with Conor McGregor taking the mic on stage.

“Who’s ready for tomorrow night?” McGregor began.

“We have the biggest fight in Road House history, Harris vs. Dalton, UFC 222. Everyone in this arena you’re about to be part of my movie.”

McGregor will be in Road House and believed to be in the main henchman of the film’s main villain.

But while McGregor was there, it was the buff Hollywood actor who stole the show.

In the real action at UFC 285, returning legend Jon Jones is taking on Ciryl Gane for the vacant UFC heavyweight belt.
