The UFC legend was putting in exhausting 18-hour days and working his own brutal stunts.

As a result, McGregor claimed in an interview with  that acting was tougher than training and the fight itself.

He said: “It's time consuming, and it’s not just action and fighting and stunts, it’s also remembering the line and you have to time things correctly, you’re engaging with another person.

“It’s just a difficult game, a lot more difficult than I gave it credit for.”

Despite McGregor's shock admission, UFC commentator and podcast sensation Rogan was not buying it.

He said: "Listen to me, that's not true,” Rogan said on a recent episode of his podcast.

“That's not true, even for him. Act in Road House or fight Khabib [Nurmagomedov] again? Shut the f*** up, that's crazy talk, it's crazy talk.

"He broke his f***ing leg in a fight. That's harder. That's way harder than f***ing acting."
