Among the real fights, Gyllenhaal entertained the T-Mobile Arena crowd in Las Vegas by filming what appears to be a pivotal struggle scene with Hieron who plays his opponent, Jack Harris.
In the scene, the 42-yr-old is caught with his back from the cage as Hieron lands many significant head shots prior to Gyllenhaal turns the tide with a a few-punch mixture.
Immediately after staying dropped by the Hollywood superstar’s third shot, Hieron tries to get back again to his ft but is place back again down by a amazing traveling knee reminiscent of Jorge Masvidal’s well known KO of Ben Askren.
Gyllenhaal finishes the fight with ground strikes and continues to hit his rival even as referee Chris Tognoni waves off the bout and tries to get him to cease throwing punches.
Scenes for Highway Home have been filmed throughout the UFC 285 battle week.
On Friday, the weigh-in for Jon Jones vs Ciryl Gane was interrupted so Gyllenhaal could step on the scale and shoot a scene to set up the fight they filmed the next working day.

UFC legend Conor McGregor was also in attendance at the weigh-in.
