The star of world football, Cristiano Ronaldo, once again confirmed that he is a big fan of boxing and mixed martial arts: “I prefer to watch not football, but boxing or the UFC”
“Playing football is my passion, but I prefer to watch other sports on TV,” the Juventus forward told ESPN. “Between watching a soccer match, boxing and the UFC, I will choose boxing or the UFC.”
According to the star Portuguese, he became addicted to martial arts early in his career, when he played at the Manchester United club.
“When I was at Manchester United, the coach boxed with me. I think boxing is good for football because it sharpens your senses and teaches you how to move. “
Note that Ronaldo is a friend of the reigning UFC champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, whom he calls his brother, but was also seen in the company of other celebrities of the MMA world, including Conor McGregor, Kein Velazquez, and Fabricio Werdum.
