It is truly not such unhealthy information for Czech followers, as we are going to get compensation for him within the type of Jiří Procházka’s rematch with Alex Pereira. However how do followers overseas see it?

After all, there are those that don’t cover their disappointment. Particularly in the event that they had been shopping for the ticket primarily for McGregor. It’s comprehensible, furthermore, the tickets had been considerably costlier exactly due to this. However the group that praises the alternative appears to be extra quite a few.

Under is a collection of feedback from social media:

“Wow, so two week outdated rumors had been true and also you had followers purchase tickets, guide flights and resorts? You’re fighters!”

What was occurring backstage?

Rumors that McGregor is injured have been circulating on-line for a while. They had been kind of confirmed when a press convention was canceled two weeks in the past and Conor himself responded in no unsure phrases that there are particular issues which might be out of his management.

So why did not the UFC announce the cancellation at that time? Based on well-known journalist Ariel Helwani, everybody hoped that McGregor would be capable to play. On the similar time, the representatives of the group had been already calling the managers of the fighters and making an attempt to create a plan B. This feature was principally confirmed by Jiří Procházka, when promoter Ondřej Novotný interviewed the previous champion on the Octagon event in Eden and speculated that he would step in for McGregor. Though Jiří didn’t immediately verify it, he additionally indicated that it might be so, however it is determined by a number of variables. In the long run, it turned out that manner and we will look ahead to his subsequent coronary heart assault match on June 29.

It is not yet clear when Conor McGregor we’ll see him again in the Octagon, but from March 21 fans will be able to shorten the wait for his comeback with a movie Road Housein which he played one of the main roles – the villain Knox – alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.

This is a remake of the film Death threat (in the original Road House) from 1989, which turned the sinful dancer Patrick Swayze into an action star. “Patrick Swayze plays a man who keeps order even in the wildest nightclub. It is thanks to him that a run-down establishment in a small town in Missouri turns into a sought-after disco where no one is afraid. It also brings him enemies. They want to settle scores with him in the hardest way . When they fail, they team up with a brutal mobster who controls the entire neighborhood. Suddenly, he has a young man against him who refuses to submit, even though he clearly feels the threat of death.” it is written on the portal ČSFD.

In the new version, the protagonist Elwood Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal), a former UFC fighter, also accepts the job of a bouncer, which brings him into conflict with the underworld, which sends Knox to him. Although McGregor had no acting experience except for a few commercials, it seems that the role of the deranged villain is tailor-made for him and he will probably not embarrass himself. After all, judge for yourself:

Unfortunately, Road House will not go to cinemas in the end and due to the decision of Amazon, which owns the studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it will go straight to their streaming platform Prime Video, where it will be available from March 21. Because of this, director Doug Liman even decided to boycott the official premiere, which will take place at the SXSW festival in Texas.
