Conor McGregor 's manager has confirmed the UFC star will not fight again this year as he gears up for his Hollywood debut.
McGregor, 34, will feature alongside popular actor Jake Gyllenhall in a remake of the classic movie Road House, with filming set to start in a few weeks in the Dominican Republic. Many fans feared the venture would compromise McGregor's timeline for his UFC return, but his manager Tim Simpson insists he remains on schedule.
The former two-weight champion is still recovering from a leg break he suffered in his last outing, with his return to the octagon being pushed back until early 2023. "A fun little venture then switching back to climbing the mountain again. It fits in perfectly. He’s still on track for a big return next year, but this fits in perfectly in the meantime," Simpson told MMA Junkie.
