GettyPhotos of the former two-weight UFC king, 35, chatting to 38-year-old Ronaldo have already amused fans – as the Al-Nassr striker looked bored stiff at times but also compared their expensive watches.
It a;; left fans wondering: What’s going on with Con ‘n Ron?
But McGregor found a far happier image of the scene in Riyadh for his Instagram as the pair appeared to be roaring with laughter.
And even more enticingly he added the words: “Legendary evening of Boxing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia! BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING. @turkialalshik @cristiano.”
That first of those two tags was for Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh.
And in an interview at the same “Day of Reckoning” extravaganza, McGregor hinted that he could take on 45-year-old Manny Pacquiao in the boxing ring.
He lost his only previous bout, the 2017 “Money Fight” with Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor also claimed he was getting frustrated with UFC over talks for a return to Mixed Martial Arts following two years out.

But he remains under contract to the organisation – a fact that complicates negotiations of another boxing bout.
One fan called McGregor the “king” and another suggested his social media snap with Portugal’s ex-Manchester United hero Ronaldo was of “two goats”.
But other followers insisted McGregor has much to do to earn such a title – making his upcoming announcement even more interesting.
