WATCH: Conor McGregor jokes that he would ‘slap the head off’ Cristiano Ronaldo

Plenty of respect between both men.

During the course of his remarkable career, there has been plenty of people that have wanted to smack Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo but after seeing CR7 spar with his good friend Conor McGregor recently, maybe those haters might be less vocal.

‘The Notorious’ has been chatting with BT Sport in the buildup to his eagerly anticipated rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 and he was more than happy to talk about his friendship with the Portuguese superstar.

It appears that they two of them have been good friends ever since McGregor beat Diego Brando in July 2014 and the Dubliner has claimed that Ronaldo is a “very nice guy and is in tremendous shape”.

This being said, McGregor was in no doubt about who would win if the pair every had to face each other in the octagon!
