UFC 285 was one of the biggest cards in the promotion’s history, and fans were treated to a special performance from Jake Gyllenhaal.

While filming “Road House,” a remake of the 1989 hit film, Gyllenhaal walked to the octagon looking absolutely shredded while playing the character of Elwood Dalton.

UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer announced him as the No. 1 contender for the UFC middleweight championship while weighing in at 184.5 lbs.

Fans immediately took to social media to leak the fight scene as well as the final outcome.

After being backed up against the fence, Gyllenhaal would defeat his opponent via flying knee in the first round.

As the referee attempts to pull Gyllenhaal off his opponent to signal the end of the fight, Gyllenhaal landed several illegal strikes and had to be held back.

“What can I say? He [Jake] looks good.” Dana White said in his post fight press conference.

“I don’t think he’s been USADA tested but he looks good,” White continued, referring to the United States Anti-Doping Agency that the UFC employs to test its athletes for banned substances, including steroids.

The Road House remake was green-lit in August of 2022 and is expected to be released sometime in 2024.
