Conor McGregor is on the eve of his great rematch against Dustin Poirer and surely Cristiano Ronaldo will be very attentive to what happens with McGreror since Cristiano Ronaldo himself admitted to being a fan of the UFC. Cristiano Ronaldo said he would rather watch the UFC than a soccer game. Besides seeing it, would you like to practice it?

Cristiano Ronaldo can say that he got into a ring with Conor McGregor and that he came out alive and without any injuries. Conor McGregor and Cristiano Ronaldo saw each other in the UFC ring in 2016 when the Portuguese was on tour in the United States and took time to visit McGregor.

Although they did not fight above the ring and only got on to take some photos and promote their names, Conor McGregor told him that he would compete with Cristiano Ronaldo for the Forbes list of athletes with the most millionaires. Cristiano Ronaldo is a boxing and UFC lover and could be seen very comfortable on top of the ring.

 

At that time, Cristiano

Ronaldo was the best athlete in the world so Conor McGregor wanted to take away that place that Forbes had assigned to the Juventus player. McGreggor is facing a great possibility to continue showing because he is the best in the world and Cristiano Ronaldo will follow him from home. Two great powers of world sport met one day above the ring.

The story of how Cristiano Ronaldo almost ended up as a boxer:

Cristiano Ronaldo is a confessed lover of martial arts and boxing. Although today he is one of the best footballers in history, there was a time when Cristiano Ronaldo dreamed of being a boxer but finally he dedicated himself to soccer since he did not like the idea that boxing or UFC was a very lonely sport that It only depended on one.
