Tyson Fury took on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event saw the attendance of numerous celebrities and peers, such as Conor McGregor, Frank Mir, Eminem, Becky G, Evander Holyfield, Kanye West, Ronaldo Nazario, Vince McMahon, Roberto Duran, Cristiano Ronaldo, and others. The night featured a rare face-off between Ronaldo and “The Notorious.”

A video has surfaced on Instagram that showed a prominent face-off between the footballer and the Irishman. The video has them enact a stare-down. But both times they attempt one, in all seriousness, they laugh. Being purposefully edged on by acquaintances and spectators nearby made it more funny for them. McGregor later bids the footballer goodbye and leaves.
