UFC star Conor McGregor admits he "almost broke" filming for Hollywood debut

Conor McGregor was exhausted whilst filming his Hollywood debut in the remake of Road House and "almost broke" a few times.

McGregor, 34, finished filming for his role in the remake of the 1989 action film at the beginning of this year. The former two-weight UFC champion is now focusing on making his fighting return as he prepares to face Michael Chandler in December after recently coaching against his rival on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.

During a chat with top-ranked welterweight Stephen Thompson on a recent episode of the UFC's reality TV show, McGregor admitted he found the long days of filming for Road House very taxing. "I almost broke a few times but I’m happy I got through it. I’m a bit nervous on how it will look but I’ve gave what I could give. They seemed happy that was the main thing," he said.
