Conor McGregor is jetting off for his first major acting role in the coming days - and will launch his UFC return shortly after.
The Irishman was in court on Thursday and was hit with a further charge of careless driving for an alleged incident in March this year. Speaking with Mirror Fighting after the case was pushed back to November 24, McGregor explained that he plans to get back fighting "soon", after he has filmed the new 'Road House' remake with Jake Gyllenhaal.
It was announced in August that McGregor would be flying out to the Dominican Republic this month to shoot the film with Oscar-nominated Hollywood star Gyllenhaal. It will be his first time on the big screen after previously turning down roles in order to focus on his fighting career, and will be an Amazon Prime Video Original that goes direct to the streaming service.
