The “Road House” reboot is in the world, and in the new iteration, Elwood Dalton is a former UFC fighter who runs afoul of the wrong people while bouncing at a bar in the Florida Keys. The main muscle villain is Conor McGregor, so naturally the movie has to be on our list of the best (and worst!) MMA movies of all time.
(And if we left some off the list, don’t be offended. For the record, if a movie was purely karate or kickboxing or boxing, etc., we left it off – we’re looking for reasonably modern-era mixed martial arts/cagefighting kind of stuff to make the cut for this list. Sorry, old Bruce Lee and Jean Claude Van Damme flicks. We’ll save you for a different list.)
