Dana White once claimed that soccer is the most unskilled sport ever, which the fans of the sport may not have liked to hear. But what about soccer’s biggest star, Cristiano Ronaldo? Well, the Portuguese icon seems to have made a pretty good impression on the UFC CEO when they met up at UFC Saudi Arabia. The 55-year-old has since shared some words of praise for Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo made rounds on the internet when he attended Francis Ngannou’s PFL debut fight last year, and this time, he attended UFC’s Fight Night event. He was certainly one of the biggest flexes for Dana White and the UFC CEO seemed to love meeting the Al-Nassr captain. Moreover, the 55-year-old even deemed Ronaldo as one of the biggest stars in all of sports.

“I’m not a big soccer guy but as far as superstars, he’s one of the biggest superstars ever,” Dana White stated in the post-fight pressers. He was even taken aback by the humble nature of ‘CR7’ despite being one of the richest athletes in the world. “You know what I like about him too? As popular, as successful, and as wealthy as he’s become, he’s a very nice humble guy. I like him. He’s a very nice guy.”

However, Dana White wasn’t the only one who shared some kind words last night. In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo also made some comments on the UFC action he witnessed and what he thought about the promotion as a whole. Let’s take a look at that front.

Cristino Ronaldo ‘loves’ Dana White and Co.

For a man who’s shown love and respect for Francis Ngannou, whom Dana White had a fallout with, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to have loved attending UFC Fight Night 250 in Saudi Arabia. Not only was he pleasantly surprised that people knew him in the promotion, but he also claimed to have liked the way the UFC set up its event at the ANB Arena in Riyadh.

“You know, everyone know me. I love UFC. I love Riyadh Season. You’re doing a fantastic show. Congratulations, guys,” Cristiano Ronaldo stated in a video on X shared by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh. It seems like the UFC and ‘CR7’ are in the same boat now and it won’t come as a surprise to see the most followed athlete on Instagram attend more UFC events in the future.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo witnessed one fight that brought him a little bit of disappointment. He was rooting for Sharaputdin Magomedov to win against Michael ‘Venom’ Page, who outclassed the Dagestan native and handed him his first loss. But other than that, Ronaldo appeared to truly enjoy his time at the ANB Arena and it remains to be seen when he’ll attend his next UFC event.
