Cristiano Ronaldo’s face was not really comfortable when sitting next to Conor McGregor at the Day of Reckoning martial arts event.
In the early morning of December 24 (Hanoi time), in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), McGregor and Ronaldo sat close together to watch the confrontation between Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin, the focus of the world’s heavyweight boxing industry at the end of 2023. .
McGregor chatted endlessly with Ronaldo and a Saudi official. CR7’s face showed discomfort. Even when the Irish puncher said something joking, the Portuguese superstar only laughed lightly to complement.
McGregor even teased Ronaldo like two close friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time. But Al Nassr’s striker doesn’t seem very excited.
When McGregor started showing off his watch and comparing the accessories on his hand with Ronaldo’s, the former Manchester United star was not too excited.
McGregor repeatedly asked Ronaldo who would win in the confrontation between Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin, but the legend of world football did not say a word. CR7’s friendliest expression towards this boxer is smiling back.
At the end of the conversation, when McGregor tried to shake Ronaldo’s hand, the Portuguese superstar refused, making the world UFC fighter quite embarrassed. Ronaldo mainly only talked to the Saudi official sitting next to him and did not exchange a word with McGregor, despite the fact that the foggy puncher was quite excited.
Many fans affirmed that Ronaldo did not seem interested in sitting next to McGregor, especially when this boxer constantly “sprayed” in front of him and joked excessively.
Ronaldo and McGregor actually knew each other before. In the past, the Portuguese superstar trained with the Irish boxer. In 2020, McGregor declared that he was capable of making more money than Cristiano Ronaldo in the world of sports.
