Ben Affleck Channeled Conor McGregor For New Batman Role
When you think of Batman, do you think of Conor McGregor?
Yeah, me neither, but one man does. That man is Ben Affleck, who is starring the upcoming Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice film. Affleck plays Batman and has been making the rounds to promote the film. How do you get some buzz? Compare Batman to the current, reigning, defending, undisputed UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor.
Affleck explained in a recent interview with Reuters why his version of Batman reminds him of how McGregor fights.
“He’s a little bit more of a brawler. You kind of get a feeling like physical, visceral slugger thing. The fights are more like smash-mouth, kind of UFC-influenced. Like Conor McGregor style.”
Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released on March 25th in North America.
For McGregor, he plans to fight at UFC 200 and is reportedly scheduled to fight Nate Diaz in a rematch. McGregor lost to Diaz in their original fight at UFC 196 by second round submission. McGregor was supposed to be in the upcoming XXX film that stars Vin Diesel and is set to be released in 2017, but McGregor pulled out of the film due to him wanting to be more focused on fighting.
