On Friday, Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal made a surprise appearance at UFC 285 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The actor was filming scenes for an upcoming remake of the 1989 film “Road House” and took part in a weigh-in alongside former UFC fighter Jay Hieron, who will star alongside Gyllenhaal.
Video footage on social media shows Gyllenhaal stepping onto the scales, flexing his waist guns and shouting at the crowd.
He was then involved in a confrontation with Hieron, his adversary in the film, and slapped him onstage during the fake altercation.
Getting in shape is nothing new for Gyllenhaal, who played a boxer in the 2015 film “Southpaw.”
Former UFC champion Conor McGregor also stars in the “Road House” remake. He was also at the weigh-in, entertaining the crowd while Gyllenhaal was on stage.
Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane headlines the main card of UFC 285, with the fight starting around 1 a.m. ET.
