Ben Affleck: Batman fights like Conor McGregor
The biggest grudge match in superhero history will kick off this Friday when "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice" opens in theaters and the fight might look like something you'd see at a UFC event.
Ben Affleck, who plays Batman/Bruce Wayne in the new film, described his fighting style in the movie as something akin to a UFC competitor -- in particular featherweight world champion Conor McGregor.
"He's like a little bit more of a brawler, he's more physical. You kind of get a feeling of like physical, visceral, slugger thing," Affleck said about Batman when speaking to Reuters. "So the fights are more smash mouth kind of UFC influenced like Conor McGregor style."
Batman puts his McGregor like skills to the test when he throws down with Superman in the movie (played by Henry Cavill) in a fight for superhero supremacy.
Judging by the trailer with some of the fight scenes that have already been shown it looks like Batman has his hands full with the "Man of Steel" but if "The Dark Knight" is anything like McGregor, he'll have a few more tricks up his sleeve.
McGregor is already one of the richest athletes on the UFC roster so maybe instead of investing in a new car following his next fight, he could explore the possibility of buying some new toys and actually becoming Batman.
An Irish Batman?
Seems like an interesting idea.
