Cristiano Ronaldo and Conor McGregor were spotted sitting next to each other at the Joshua vs Wallin boxing match last night (23 December), however, many fans have pointed out that the football legend didn’t appear too thrilled about the seating arrangement.
Ronaldo faced away from the UFC fighter as he sat down, and didn’t respond as an upbeat McGregor attempted to speak to him about the match in Riyadh.

However, the 38-year-old later posted a photo on Instagram of the duo laughing together, joking that the “best caption wins”.
Both Ronaldo and McGregor are among the most well-known athletes in the world, and given their remarkable success, it wouldn’t be incorrect to refer to them as the “faces” of their respective sports.
The former Real Madrid footballer is renowned for having close relationships with numerous athletes from various sports. He has already had meetings with a number of notable people, including Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Khabib Nurmagomedov of the UFC.
