One of the biggest questions UFC fans have when it comes to Conor McGregor is whether or not he will ever make a return to the octagon to compete in the sport that made him a household name. However, based on the most recent updates making the rounds, it looks like he is doing something else instead.
Conor McGregor Has Been Out Of The Octagon A Long Time
One of Conor McGregor’s last notable wins in the UFC was all the way back in January of 2020, when he defeated Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone by Tko. Following that victory, McGregor had two defeats in 2021 at the hands of Dustin Poirier.
Conor was going to fight against Michael Chandler in 2024 as part of UFC 303. However, that fight never came to fruition. McGregor has been dealing with injuries for the last few years, and the pandemic also took a shot at his momentum.

“Speaking hypothetically, what would happen if a Yankees fan yelled ‘Bucky Fucking Dent’ as you are in your windup to throw out the first pitch today,” I ask Matt Damon as he marinates in the anxiety of Jason Bourne screwing it up on the mound in front of a sellout crowd at Fenway Park.
He doesn’t miss a beat: “I guess I’ll be throwing at your head, Mike.”
We are at Fenway on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, in which a Red Sox-Yankees contest has turned into a celebration for the Apple TV+ release of The Instigators. That comedy has proved itself an example of a moderately priced film that can be a victory for a big streamer, armed with clever marketing that included the above Dunkin’ Donuts commercial spoof which exploded virally and helped drive the film to become one of Apple TV+’s most watched films.

In the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) world, a lot has been going on lately, and now Israel Adesanya is trying to become a part of it. Not directly, but he still seems to be trying to take over the limelight of one other fighter. This fighter is the Brazilian mixed martial artist cum former kickboxer and the latest winner of UFC 303, Alex Pereira.

This comes after Izzy recently took to social media to share something rather peculiar in the case of the recent turn of events that resulted in Pereira’s Ko victory at UFC 303. In the post he shared, there was a crazy fan-made video of his and Pereira’s fight from 2023, though this one was so brutally modified that it inevitably sounds like Izzy is trying to steal Pereira’s spotlight.

Post Malone, the chart-topping rapper and now actor, is diving into the world of handheld gaming with a new collab.
His latest venture involves a collaboration with Backbone, a company known for its innovative mobile gaming controllers. This partnership is definitely interesting, but some are left wondering what the point of the collaboration is.
Backbone Controllers and Their Role in Mobile Gaming
The Backbone One controller is pretty good for serious mobile gamers.
Central to this collaboration are the Backbone controllers, a key component in transforming mobile gaming experiences. The company has earned a reputation for its high-quality, ergonomic controllers that enhance gameplay on smartphones. These add-on gadgets have become rather popular in recent years for mobile gaming since the touch controls on the devices often tend to take up half the screen. A controller attachment makes the mobile gaming experience far better.
$200 is unacceptable for a horrible brand of controller.

It wasn’t also a reflection of the 2024 Road House’s fight scenes, which were in general thrilling to watch on-screen, and were extremely close to the real deal. That in itself is a reflection of the work put in by the stunt coordination team, headed by Garrett Warren.
However, the scenes in general might appear far different if one considers the fact that Warrett himself described the thrilling fight scenes as ‘glorified pillow fights.’

Jake Gyllenhaal recently played an Mma fighter in the remake of Road House. The actor shared screen space with real-life UFC champion Conor McGregor. The film was a remake of the ‘80s classic starring Patrick Swayze and was extremely successful despite being released directly on Amazon Prime Video.
The success of the first film has reportedly led to a sequel being commissioned. Much like McGregor, another prominent athlete might just be in the running for the antagonist again, if the sequel decides to go the same route. After looking at boxer Ryan Garcia’s antics over the past few months, Road House 2 might have just found its new villain.

Jake Gyllenhaal pulls his glasses out of his jean jacket pocket, the Coke bottle lenses in them strong enough to correct his 20/1250 vision. Yes, you read that right. These are not Internet Boyfriend glasses, to be styled with a fuzzy cardigan and a rakish smile. These are I Literally Can’t See glasses. Looking through them with normal vision feels like being on some sort of a hallucinogenic.
Gyllenhaal, 43, has been wearing intensive corrective lenses since he was about 6. Born with a lazy eye that naturally resolved, he’s blind without the lenses. “I like to think it’s advantageous,” he says. “I’ve never known anything else. When I can’t see in the morning, before I put on my glasses, it’s a place where I can be with myself.” He has used his blindness sometimes to help him as an actor — when he was shooting a difficult...

On Monday, a press conference in Dublin to promote the June 29 match at UFC 303 in Las Vegas between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler was postponed. The unexpected postponement immediately sparked speculation over McGregor’s availability for the highly anticipated fight.
Photos and videos circulating on social media showed McGregor, 35, out dancing with his fiancée and friends, further fueling the rumors. Fans and media also noted that UFC CEO Dana White did not indicate that the press conference would be postponed when he spoke to reporters at Saturday’s UFC 302 event.
McGregor, a two-time UFC champion, is scheduled to fight Chandler as a welterweight in a five-round, non-title bout. The Irishman has not appeared in a match since he broke his leg and lost by Tko to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021.
In a statement on social media, McGregor implied that the postponement was UFC’s decision and provided little explanation for the sudden change.

Aired on Prime Video in March, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Road House is still a prominent feature of the platform’s global top. The top-tier action about an ex-UFC fighter also starred a real-life sports legend, the professional boxer Conor McGregor, in his movie debut.
Netflix has just added another sports movie to its catalog, and it can easily beat Road House by its wholesomeness. More than that, it tells the true story of rises and falls of one of the world’s legendary boxers, and it definitely adds to it being a must-watch.
It starts by showing a boxer during his championship debut against the back-then heavyweight champion, whom he beats and becomes a worldwide sports star. The subsequent events of his complicated life lead him to rethink the realities he lives in.
Sports lovers can already guess we’re talking about Muhammad Ali, also known as Cassius Clay Jr.

Nothing comes easy for “The Fall Guy” (Universal). Despite a home release 18 days after opening (typical for Universal) and outgrossing “Civil War” by $4 million despite playing for four weeks less, Alex Garland’s film shares top honors with the stuntman actioner this week on the VOD charts.
Both films, available for rental for 48 hours at $19.99, placed #1 on one chart apiece. “Civil War” leads at iTunes (ranking by transactions), while “Fall Guy” does at Fandango (calculated by revenue). One factor differentiating the two is that “Civil War” was released on Friday, while “Fall” debuted the previous Tuesday. That gave the latter an edge on Fandango, which has a weekly Monday-Sunday chart. It was #1 on iTunes on Wednesday through Friday, with “Civil War” #1 since.
“Fall” of course has been a disappointment in theaters. With a head of steam ahead of opening to excellent reviews, Ryan Gosling momentum, and a prime early May release date,...

Rick and Morty has amassed a strong fan following, particularly among the millennials. However, many would be surprised to know that the sci-fi adult animated show shares a notable connection with Christopher Lloyd’s Back to The Future series. The movie follows an eccentric older man and a teenager who embark on a time-traveling adventure with the help of their hi-tech vehicle.

Primarily due to its character inspirations and thematic elements, the animated show was conceived out of Lloyd’s movie parody, The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti. The film franchise star, in an old interview, addressed the same, confirming how the animated series shares a great connection with the sci-fi trilogy.

Jake Gyllenhaal decided to showcase his vocal talent during the Season 49 finale of “Saturday Night Live.” The actors began serenading the audience with a rendition of Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road.” During the ballad, Gyllenhaal switched up the lyrics, claiming he was the very last choice to host for the finale. He croons, “They asked Pedro Pascal, but he wasn’t around. Zendaya said no because she’d be out of town. Even asked [Ryan] Gosling to come back again, just hosted three shows ago.”
The sing-along monologue also featured appearances from cast members Kenan Thompson, Ego Nowdim, Punkie Johnson and Devon Walker, who were dressed in the R&b boy group’s signature sweater and baseball cap.

Jake Gyllenhaal had a show-stopping “Saturday Night Live” monologue for its Season 49 finale, literally breaking out into song with a Boyz II Men spoof of “End of the Road.”
“We’ve come to the end of the road, it’s the last episode. Time to say goodbye, season 49 — you’ll be 50 soon,” the actor sang alongside impromptu bandmates Kenan Thompson, Ego Nwodim, Punkie Johnson and Devon Walker.
Riffing on the Grammy-winning R&b act’s 1993 Motown Records single, the highlight of the bit came with Gyllenhaal’s impassioned bridge where he listed all the hosts Lorne Michaels asked to come host for the Season 49 finale before him.
“They asked Pedro Pascal but he wasn’t around. Zendaya said no ’cause she be out of time. Even asked Gosling to come back again, just hosted three shows ago!” Gyllenhaal, capitalizing off his previously Tony Award-nominated singing chops, belted.

Jake Gyllenhaal took hosting duties for Saturday Night Live’s Season 49 finale ahead of the historic 50th season this fall.
The Road House actor joked in his monologue, “When you think of historic television seasons, the first number that pops into your head is 49.”
“I mean, sure, you know, one more episode and I would have been hosting the premiere of the 50th season, but who cares? Forty-nine is a great number. I mean, seven times seven, classic,” he said. “Forty-nine is like 69 but easier. Also, 49 is the number of times Conor McGregor accidentally punched me during Road House.”

Pure intentions never come a long way when it comes to achieving stardom in Hollywood. John Wick star John Leguizamo seems to understand that but while the actor may hold a cynical view of the industry due to time spent behind the curtains, there exist some things (perhaps a movie role or odd jobs to pay oneʼs way through surviving as a struggling artist) that he imagines as simply being too awkward to be uttered in public.
John Leguizamo in To Wong Foo [Credit: Amblin/Universal Pictures]Now, sufficient time has passed in the life and career of Leguizamo to serve as a cushion for his criticism, whenever or wherever it may apply. Such a protective cushion frequently comes into use when the actor brings up his fellow co-stars in the industry and serves to spill some tea about their roles that some still view as divisive beyond reproach.

One of the hardest things to pull off in the movie industry? A remake of a golden classic that doesn’t get immediately torpedoed by furious critics and Og fans. Few directors have managed such a feat, and it wasn’t the case with this largely hated 2024 action thriller. Half of its viewers hated it, but the other half has an ace up its sleeve: Stephen King’s personal endorsement of this controversial remake.
Even Jake Gyllenhaal Couldn’t Save This Remake
The original Road House came out in 1989, starring Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott and directed by Rowdy Herrington. The movie wasn’t too gracefully received by the critics, but the audience enjoyed it — and as it often happens in such cases, Road House later became a cult classic. You know what Hollywood does to cult classics from the 80s, don’t you?
In 2024, a modern remake by Doug Liman hit the screens.

In 1989, the legendary Patrick Swayze starred in the original Road House movie. The movie has achieved cult status in the meantime, and while the 2006 sequel was panned by critics, Amazon decided to remake the movie, which was released earlier this year to mixed reviews, but it seems that the fans were more than satisfied, as a sequel has been announced by Amazon, with the first film’s main star, Jake Gyllenhaal set to reprise his role in the sequel. We’re certain that this sequel won’t repeat the failure of the original sequel, but it remains to be seen how well Amazon is going to execute it.
The first movie was released in March 2024, and the critics on Rotten Tomatoes have agreed that “Road House updates a cult classic for a new generation, happily replicating the original’s emphasis on cheesy brawn over narrative brains.”

It seems that Road House was – in every sense – a hit.

Plenty of reason, then, for Amazon to double down and demand a return trip to the Road House. Yes, a sequel is on the way, with Jake Gyllenhaal back on board for more brawls, booze, brooding, and bro-tactic bodaciousness.

It's official: "Road House" is getting a sequel. Not the original Patrick Swayze classic from the '80s, mind you. Rather, the recent Jake Gyllenhaal-led remake that premiered earlier this year on Amazon Prime Video is getting a follow-up. Amazon has confirmed that "Road House 2" (which does not officially have a title) is in the works, with Gyllenhaal due to reprise his role as Dalton. Little else has been revealed but the company wasted little time in getting the project going.

The copyright battle over Road House and this year’s remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor has turned into a full-on bare-knuckle legal brawl.
If R. Lance Hill, who penned the original 1986 script under the moniker David Lee Henry, thought in his February filing that he was going to bop Amazon Studios, MGM Studios and United Artists over “blatant copyright infringement” – he just got smacked back, hard.
“Plaintiff’s Complaint ignores the well-established rule of copyright law that the author of a work made for hire is not the individual who created the work,” declares the counterclaim filing by Amazon Studios, MGM and United Artists in federal court on May 3 (read it here).

Former Collaborators Kendrick Lamar and Drake Continue to Target Each Other With A String of Diss Tracks. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s decade-long feud continued to gain steam this week after the former released the newest diss titled “6:16 In LA,” which also sampled Al Green’s 1972 classic, “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is.” While sampling other artists’ music doesn’t raise eyebrows, Lamar using Green’s 1972 classic in his track has led fans to unearth the soul singer’s connection to Drake’s family.
The one-time collaborators Drake and Kendrick Lamar began to butt heads in 2013 after Lamar rapped on Big Sean’s track “Control” and called out multiple artists, including Drake by name.
While Drake didn’t officially respond to Lamar’s track, his 2013 song “The Language” was rumored to be targeted at the rapper. However, Drake’s camp denied the claim and even praised...
