Conor McGregor recalls taking down stuntmen during ‘Road House’ filming
While Conor McGregor hasn’t been confirmed for a role in Road House 2, he did seem to have quite a bit of fun while filming the 2024 movie.
The Irishman was speaking to ESPN after the release of the remake. The former champion didn’t share every bit of backstage drama from the filming, he did say that some stuntmen were on the end of his fighting skills.
“I put a few of them down. Spinning back kicks and all, yeah? Spinning back kicks to the ribs, a couple head kicks. A couple of side kicks to the head as well… I won’t tell the story, but there were some real shots for sure.”
McGregor, however, added that he wasn’t trying to show off his MMA abilities. The Irishman was told not to hold back, and he too was on the receiving end of a few hits.
“I hit the guys, they hit me and I had no issue with that. And they had no issue. They told me to. ‘F***ing no, hit them for real.’ Are you sure?”
