Conor McGregor releases statement teasing ‘big announcement’ alongside Cristiano Ronaldo photo as fans call him ‘King’
FANS are even more intrigued by Conor McGregor’s Saudi meet-up with Cristiano Ronaldo after the UFC icon teased a “big announcement”.
Irishman McGregor shared a picture of himself next to the football legend at the huge boxing event where Anthony Joshua crushed Otto Wallin.
Photos of the former two-weight UFC king, 35, chatting to 38-year-old Ronaldo have already amused fans – with the Al-Nassr striker looking bored at times but also comparing their expensive wristwatches.
It all left fans wondering: What’s going on with Con ‘n Ron?
McGregor, however, found a far happier image of their get-together in Riyadh for Instagram – as the pair roared with laughter.
And he added the words: “Legendary evening of Boxing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia! BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING. @turkialalshik @cristiano.”
Interestingly, the first of those two tags was for Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh.
And in an interview at the same “Day of Reckoning” extravaganza, McGregor hinted he may face Manny Pacquiao, 45, in the ring.
He lost his only previous bout, the 2017 “Money Fight” with Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor also claimed he was getting frustrated with UFC over talks for a return to Mixed Martial Arts following two years out.

But he remains under contract to the organisation – a fact that complicates negotiations over boxing again.
One fan called McGregor the “king” and another suggested his social media snap with Portugal’s ex-Manchester United hero Ronaldo was of “two goats”.
But other followers insisted McGregor has much to do to earn such a title – making his upcoming announcement even more fascinating.
