Cristiano Ronaldo shares what he loves to watch on TV

Former Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo once said he watched more Combat Sports on TV than football. Although playing football was his love, football was not his favorite sport to watch, according to the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo was spotted at major boxing matches that were held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Conor McGregor, Francis Ngannou, and other prominent MMA fighters are among his buddies, so his passion for combat sports is not new. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner spoke about the sports he watches on TV when he appeared in the 2020 documentary "Parallel Worlds." (Through MARCA) He stated, "Playing Soccer is my passion, but then I prefer to watch other sports on TV. Between a Soccer match or watching a Boxing match or UFC, I choose Boxing and UFC."

Cristiano Ronaldo clarified, that boxing or mixed martial arts was not one of his strong suits. According to him, some sports require a natural talent from the athletes, and football was that kind of sport for him. For the most part, it can be said that Ronaldo chose his sport wisely. Combat Sports may have never seen a more dangerous knockout artist than Francis Ngannou. 

Cristiano Ronaldo gave a watch to Francis Ngannou

Combat Sports may have never seen a more dangerous knockout artist than Francis Ngannou. Former heavyweight champion of the Cameroonian team, Cristiano Ronaldo, was surprised by something he saw. If Ronaldo didn't know who he was, "The Predator" asserted he wouldn't have been shocked. The Portuguese captain, on the other hand, made a friendly approach. One day, Ngannou told Shannon Sharpe.

Ahead of the Tyson Fury boxing battle last year, Ronaldo also gave a watch to Francis Ngannou as a gift. Estimates put its value at above 110,000 Euros. According to Ngannou, his time with the Portuguese superstar was far more valuable than that.
