Soccer hunk Cristiano Ronaldo paid a visit to our very own Conor McGregor this week, and the pics certainly are a sight for sore eyes on a Monday morning!
The Real Madrid player popped by the UFC gym last week and even got a chance to experience some of Conor’s moves in the ring. Both of the sports stars took to Instagram to share pics of their encounter.

Although Ronaldo posted a snap of himself and Conor in a fighting stance, the caption proves that they’re actually friends, and admire one another’s skills.
Accompanying the pic he wrote, “Great to see you bro!!”
Crumlin native Conor also posted a pic to social media of the pair and said, “My brother Ronaldo dropped by the gym today! He is an animal. Thank you @cristiano, much respect! I will see you for the Forbes number 1 spot next year. #ThisIsTheMacLife.”

We hope Cristiano was a worthy opponent for Conor as he preps for his Vegas fight next month.
