UFC commentator Joe Rogan sharply reacted to former double champion Conor McGregor's words, who previously stated that acting in movies is harder than fighting in the UFC.
It is worth noting that McGregor played the main villain in the movie Road House. This is a remake of the film of the same name, where the main character arrives at a provincial bar and encounters a local gang.
Listen to me, that’s not true. That’s not true, even for him. Okay, act in ‘Road House’ or fight Khabib again? Shut the f*k up, that is crazy talk. He broke his f*ing leg in a fight! That is way harder than f*ing acting… The guy’s promoting a movie, he’s a great promoter.

McGregor and Nurmagomedov met in the octagon in October 2018 at UFC 229. This fight, which was stopped in the fourth round, ended in favor of Khabib by submission.
McGregor's last fight was against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264. In that fight, Conor suffered a technical knockout in the first round. He has 22 wins and six losses on his record.
