For sports fans, watching their favorite superstars compete is exhilarating, but when those athletes appear in a documentary or movie, it takes the excitement to another level. Meanwhile, following Conor McGregor’s appearance in Road House earlier this year, three major superstars—Jon Jones, Ciryl Gane, and Georges St-Pierre—are now preparing to star in a UFC-based series.
After much hype, “The Cage,” set to drop on Netflix on Nov. 8, has finally revealed its first trailer, and it’s got fans buzzing. The movie looks like the ultimate underdog story—following a young fighter who dreams of going pro but struggles to get his big break.
That is until a surprise chance at a major fight turns everything around. With UFC icons Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones stepping in as mentors to guide him to success, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Meanwhile, Ciryl Gane shows up as a fierce, no-nonsense fighter, bringing his real-life skills to the series.
Is The Cage Jon Jones, GSP, and Ciryl Gane’s Acting Debut?
Talking about the Hollywood debut, it’s not Georges St-Pierre’s acting debut. The former UFC great has appeared in movies like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Kickboxer: Vengeance, while Jon Jones has not performed any major roles or made any appearances. However, for Ciryl Gane, this will be his first major film role, similar to how Conor McGregor made his debut with Road House.
There’s no doubt that as the UFC grows bigger and its stars gain more recognition, Hollywood is starting to jump in and add to the hype—just like it did with WWE, where stars like The Rock, John Cena, Dave Bautista, and more have made and cemented their names.
