Those who attended UFC 285 in Las Vegas on Saturday night were treated to a nice bonus “fight.”
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is starring in an upcoming remake of 1989 movie 'Roadhouse' which features Gyllenhaal as a former UFC fighter who finds himself working as a bouncer at a roadhouse in Florida.
The remake -- currently in production -- hit up the octagon proper for filming this weekend, with Gyllenhaal participating in Friday’s live weigh-ins before going on to film a fight scene in front of Saturday's live crowd.
Here is a look at the fight Gyllenhaal filmed.

That’s pretty cool. From afar, it looks like the fight was real. Hollywood magic from the ripped-for-the-role Gyllenhaal.
