While attending the event on Saturday, McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, and Ronaldo, one of the greatest soccer players of all time, participated in a friendly faceoff.

The video of McGregor and Ronaldo went viral, leading to a popular Twitter account called “MMA Orbit” sharing the moment. The comment section of the social media post was filled with mixed reactions from fans, including the following people:

“Are you not entertained ?”“like 60 allegations between those 2 combined lol”“woman beaters collide”“i know conor is in his ear like “ you know i’d love to see you train, maybe it can be you and me in the ring one day!””“Legends”“GOAT and some bum”“Whoever has he most allegations wins”“f*ck my 2 boys. Christmas came early this year”Twitter comments

At 38 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo is still competing at a high level as he continues to score goals for Al Nassr, a team in the Saudi Pro League.

Meanwhile, Conor McGregor is preparing for his highly-anticipated UFC return, which is expected to take place in early 2024.

Conor McGregor relates to Alexander Volkanovski during extended layoff from fighting

On November 21, Alexander Volkanovski suffered a first-round knockout loss in a short-notice title fight against Islam Makhachev.

Following his disappointing performance, Volkanovski opened up by revealing one of the reasons he accepted the short-notice opportunity is because he tends to struggle with mental health when he’s not in a fight camp.

During the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou fight week, Conor McGregor did an interview with MMA Junkie to discuss his upcoming Octagon return. McGregor revealed a potential date for his next fight and drew comparisons to Volkanovski’s need to stay active:

“March is earlier than April. I’ve been kept from my living for almost three years now. Understand that. I came through what I came through. I’m sitting on an injury and a loss. You hear what Alexander Volkanovski said. I relate.”

Conor McGregor hasn’t fought since suffering a severe leg injury in July 2021. Once he returns to the Octagon, ‘The Notorious’ is expected to fight Michael Chandler, who he coached against on The Ultimate Fighter Season 31.
