Ben Affleck apparently is trying to flatter Conor McGregor, despite his own status as a Hollywood megastar.
Affleck, who’ll play the role of Batman in the upcoming film “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” told Reuters on Monday his version of the iconic character will fight like McGregor. “Batman” is expected to include several combat sequences, and Affleck’s moves might be familiar to legions of UFC fans.

“You kind of get a feeling of like physical, visceral, slugger thing,” Affleck said “So the fights are more smash mouth kind of UFC influenced like Conor McGregor style.”
McGregor has no official connection with “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
If imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery, we only can interpret Affleck’s style one way.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” premiers Friday.
