Sonnen’s analysis focused on the body language and dynamics of the two worldwide sports superstars. This is what he said:

Cristiano Ronaldo is, a soccer player, handsome dude… Conor McGregor does like a nod to Cristiano Ronaldo who does not acknowledge his existence... Conor sits and begins leaning over possibly sport's very biggest star, which I like. I thought it was a very cool Alpha-style move. Ronaldo was meeting him back...not acknowledging that Conor exists, however being fully aware that this man will kill me, so I better be on my best behavior. The whole thing was just very interesting.
