On December 24, star Cristiano Ronaldo and his eldest son went to watch a boxing event held in the capital Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Here, CR7 was seated next to former world mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor. Up until now, McGregor has been famous for being a talkative person who likes to brag about himself.

The camera captured the moment McGregor spoke continuously while Ronaldo just sat still. Sometimes, CR7 laughs it off but does not participate in McGregor’s story.

Ronaldo’s reaction received tens of millions of views on social networks

After being posted, this moment caused a fever with more than 18 million views, on X (Twitter) alone. Thousands of people have left funny comments.

“Ronaldo must have wanted to go home at that time” one account commented.

“Ronaldo was silent because he was thinking of a way to change places,” another person said.

Ronaldo then posted a photo of him smiling brightly with McGregor to erase the suspicion of “ignoring” the 35-year-old boxer. The two have actually met many times in the past

This is the second time that Ronaldo has appeared at a boxing event in the past 2 months. Previously, CR7 appeared on the day Tyson Fury fought with Francis Ngannou on October 28. Sharing with the media, Ronaldo said boxing is his third favorite sport after football and mixed martial arts (MMA).

Ronaldo is still busy with his year-end competition schedule. Not long after returning from the event, CR7 went out to practice with his teammates at Al Nassr. On the morning of December 27, the whole team will have an important competition with Al Ittihad in the Saudi Arabia National Championship.

Meanwhile, McGregor is having a lot of free time. The former two-weight UFC champion has not competed since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
