Conor McGregor recently made his acting debut alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie Road House. As such, ‘The Notorious’ has been busy promoting the movie worldwide. However, he is not sure if he wants to go back to acting again. Here is what happened:

Conor McGregor recently did an interview with talkSport MMA. There he talked about potential future projects in Hollywood. 

I've had no conversations with no one. I know there's talks in the back going on. I'm sure. I don't want to really do it. I don't want to hear it. So, from me, no, no, there no movies on for me.

McGregor said that he is unlikely to act again after his acting debut in the 2024 movie Road House. He has two fights remaining on his current UFC contract. The former double champ is anxious to get back to working towards his UFC comeback, one which has been stalled for too long now.

In the movie, McGregor plays the character Knox who is one of the main antagonists. He plays opposite Jake Gyllenhaal as James Dalton who is a former UFC fighter who becomes a security guard at a roadhouse. McGregor further revealed that he had turned down roles for “top-end” films.

He even mentioned making a few enemies because he turned down a good few roles while he was on the ascent of his UFC career. The star was apprehensive about acting at first. However, he had time after he was recovering from surgery and said that he enjoyed every second of it.

Conor McGregor’s coach talks about comeback

Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh recently went on the MMA Hour. There he talked to Ariel Helwani about McGregor’s potential return to the UFC octagon. Kavanagh had some interesting things to say about why the UFC is not bringing McGregor back right away.

Kavanagh said he would not pretend to know the politics and what is going on with the legal side in the background. He mentioned that it seems odd to him that no news regarding any outcome. He emphasized that he is ignorant of the situation and that McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar, has gone back and forth with Hunter Campbell and the UFC team. However, he finds it weird that someone with McGregor’s stardom is not getting more opportunities.

It's weird to me for someone to be a star that he is and not get more opportunities.

UFC CEO, Dana White previously mentioned that McGregor was too rich to get back to the octagon right away. However, as per Kavanagh, McGregor is waiting for the call to get back into the octagon. The much-awaited fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler has fans waiting in anticipation. It will be interesting to see when the Irish superstar makes his comeback.
