Actor Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor filmed a scene at the UFC 285 weigh-in Friday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The pair were filming an upcoming film called 'Road House', a remake of a 1989 movie.
In the scene, Gyllenhall weighed in before standing face-to-face with former UFC fighter Jay Hieron. The American actor, 42, slapped Hieron in the face before they were split up. Dana White, the UFC president, was also in the scene.
