UFC Drops Electric Promo For Jake Gyllenhaal's 'Road House' Remake

The UFC is hyping up Jake Gyllenhaal like he's an actual MMA fighter.

Gyllenhaal stars in the upcoming "Road House" remake, and he'll play a character similar to the one played by the legendary actor Patrick Swayze (RIP) in the original.

However, Gyllenhaal's Dalton has a bit of a different backstory than the one played by Swayze in the original. He's a former UFC fighter, and Gyllenhaal even filmed an actual fight right before a UFC event.

Well, the UFC pulled off a pretty cool move by tweeting a fight promo video to promote the film, and it will have viewers believing the actor might actually be capable of strapping on the gloves.

Give it a watch below, and hit me with your thoughts on the remake at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in upcoming "Road House" remake.

Generally speaking, I'm against remakes, and I'm 100% against remaking classic films like "Road House." Never forget what Hollywood already did to Swayze's best film "Red Dawn." A remake was released in 2012 that was so bad it's hard to believe it's even real.

Everyone involved with the "Red Dawn" remake should be banned from entertainment.

However, the "Road House" remake looks surprisingly good, and Conor McGregor even plays a significant role in the movie.

Is the Irish-born fighter a good actor? No idea, but I think we can all agree it shouldn't be too hard for him to play a hot head capable of violence. Viewers won't have to make a mental leap at all to buy McGregor in his role.

The good news for fans is they won't have to wait long to find out whether or not the "Road House" remake was worth it. The film hits Amazon March 21st. Might be the perfect morning flick before several packed days of March Madness action. Let's hope it lives up to the hype.
