Conor McGregor not short on chat for Cristiano Ronaldo ringside at Joshua v Wallin
As soon as Conor McGregor and Cristiano Ronaldo were seated next to each other for 'Day of Reckoning' in Saudi Arabia, they quickly became familiar with one another. McGregor did not delay in making a connection with the talented Portuguese football player.
In the event featuring two fights, Anthony Joshua achieved victory over Otto Wallin in the fifth round, while Joseph Parker unexpectedly defeated Deontay Wilder.
Videos posted on the internet display McGregor making his way towards his seat, which happens to be beside the ex-Manchester United player now in the Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr.
The tweet from the TNT Sports boxing account posted on December 23, 2023.
In an incident that has been labeled uncomfortable by many social media users, the MMA fighter who took a seat beside Ronaldo was initially ignored.
In the video, the captain of Portugal can be seen having a conversation with another man next to him. However, without hesitation, McGregor barges in, seemingly excited to impart his knowledge for the upcoming fight.
Ronaldo is wearing a Gucci jacket with a green monogram print and he manages to smile while listening to McGregor speak. He laughs when McGregor says, "Is he a man or a mouse?"
McGregor didn't want to lag behind in fashion and so he approached Ronaldo to greet him. However, instead of just shaking his hand, he decided to take a look at his neighbour's watch for comparison. McGregor stood up and inquired, "Who has the better watch?"
