The sporting world has witnessed yet another record broken by the soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo. But this time, the record wasn’t broken on the fields with a soccer ball under his feet, but with viral videos and a massive fan following on social media. But little did the legendary Portuguese soccer star know that he would receive words of praise from Conor McGregor’s team.

But what did McGregor’s teammate say, and why? Let’s find out everything about it!

Conor McGregor’s teammate praises Christiano Ronaldo for his newest achievement

Ronaldo began his journey on YouTube with his channel, ‘U R Christiano’. He took to X and announced the release of his YT channel on the 21st of August 2024. Needless to say, he asked his fans to subscribe to his iconic fashion, combining the word with ‘siuuu’. And the fans didn’t waste a single moment to follow through with his request.

Within moments, the soccer star’s YouTube channel crossed 1 million subscribers. It was indeed a record-breaking moment for Ronaldo. ‘U R Christiano’ became the fastest YouTube channel to get 1 million subscribers. And the record time? Just under 90 minutes! Soon after, the social media platform sent the golden play button to the soccer legend. 

To celebrate this achievement, Ronaldo took to Instagram, brought out the golden play button, and opened it in front of his family. Needless to say, his entire family was excited by the news. In the captions, Ronaldo took a moment to thank the ones who helped him to this achievement. He wrote, “A present for my family (heart emoji) Thank you to all the SIUUUbscribers!”

Within a few moments, McGregor’s teammate, Dillon Danis, took to the comments section and commended the soccer star as he broke the records. The Bellator FC contender commented, “You break records in everything haha congrats brother.” Danis was indeed impressed with the speed Ronaldo received the play button. He continued, “That’s the fastest I ever seen someone get one of those.”

This is not the only time when McGregor’s name was associated with Ronaldo. Not too long ago, ‘The Notorious’ sent forth some words of support for the soccer star.

Conor McGregor stands behind the soccer star

Back in April 2024, the ‘Mystic Mac’ shared a post on Instagram, where he had a brief talk with Ronaldo. But soon the talks turned towards the Forbes list. McGregor pointed out that Ronaldo was on the top spot of the list, while he was on #35 back then. The Irish mixed martial artist didn’t spare a moment to announce that he would climb up the ladder pretty soon. 

However, the captions read a different story. Although he predicted to rise in the Forbes list, he didn’t back away from supporting Ronaldo. McGregor wrote, “Predicting my future with the bro, @cristiano! Stand proud behind your dreams, your aspirations, your actions, and your words! Stand proud and achieve everything you ever dream and more.” 

With Ronaldo’s newfound success in the realm of YouTube, McGregor will definitely face a bit of a challenge in his quest to rise up in the Forbes rankings. What are your thoughts on Ronaldo’s newest record-breaking moment? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
