BAD MMA News — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 22:28:59 +0000

Jay Hieron stepped in the octagon earlier this month, 10 years after his last fight for the UFC. Hieron, a former UFC welterweight contender who retired in 2014, got back in action but not in the way most MMA fans were used to seeing him. Hieron played a role in the remake of “Road House,” which was partly filmed live at UFC 285 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In the scene, Hieron fought Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays Elwood Dalton, the main character of the film

LAS VEGAS – Fourteen fights were scheduled for the UFC 285 bill, but fans in attendance were treated to a bonus Saturday when actor Jake Gyllenhaal entered the cage to film a scene for the upcoming film “Road House.” Gyllenhaal, who showed off a ripped physique as he also filmed a scene at Friday’s UFC 285 ceremonial weigh-ins, won the faux fight with a flying knee. His opponent was former UFC fighter Jay Hieron . The scene also featured UFC cage announcer Bruce Buffer and MMA referee Chris Tognoni. “Road House” is a remake of the 1989 action film that starred Patrick Swayze. UFC star Conor McGregor, who will make his acting debut, also is featured.

Want to be friends with Denzel Washington? Jay Hieron says you better be ready to improv

BAD MMA News — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 12:30:21 +0000

UFC, Bellator and Strikeforce veteran Jay Hieron hasn’t stepped into a cage in more than five years, but he’s still doing his share of sparring – in more ways than one. With Hieron’s fighting days behind, he’s currently carving out a career in Hollywood, largely as a stuntman but increasingly with a speaking roles, as well. “The Thoroughbred” says a recent role alongside award-winning actor Denzel Washington in “The Equalizer 2” proved especially educational. “We were going by the script, and then he just started ad-libbing, like improving, and saying lines that weren’t in the script, and the first time he did it, I kind of stuttered,” Hieron recently told MMAjunkie Radio. “But I went with it, thankfully, so then after that take – you know, he didn’t really talk to me before that time. … Then after that take, he was like, ‘Oh, I almost had you there, huh?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’” Hieron, who plays an assassin trying to kill Washington’s character, said he felt the veteran actor was trying to test his chops a bit, much in the way a veteran fighter might look for a young athlete to try and prove himself, as well

Why are Jay Hieron and Andrei Arlovski trying to kill Denzel Washington?

BAD MMA News — Sun, 06 May 2018 16:13:58 +0000

Big-show veteran Jay Hieron and former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski are tough guys, but they’re no Denzel Washington. At least not of we’re using the trailer for the award-winning actor’s latest blockbuster, “The Equalizer 2,” as a measure. “Not all enemies are created equal,” reads the promo for what serves as the first sequel of Washington’s storied career. The official trailer shows that Hieron and Arlovski apparently aren’t created tough enough to take down Robert McCall, the Washington-played character who “serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed.” Grab a few of your toughest Russian friends and try to attack Washington on a train

Jay Hieron: UFC’s Yoel Romero has paid price for weight miss, title shot is fair

BAD MMA News — Sat, 24 Feb 2018 15:37:02 +0000

While it hasn’t been made official yet, it would appear a rematch between Yoel Romero and champ Robert Whittaker is what’s next on the horizon at the top of the UFC’s middleweight division. On paper, that doesn’t seem like such a controversial call. After all, not only is Romero (13-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) coming off a big upset win over former champion Luke Rockhold (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC), he accomplished it in undeniably impressive manner – after taking the UFC 221 scrap on short-notice, no less
