Juventus and Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo recently revealed his prediction for the UFC 254 main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje and showed his support to the Russian fighter.
The five-time Balon d'Or champion, who is home-quarantined after being tested positive for Coronavirus after the friendly match against Spain, came to the Instagram live recently where he was asked to predict the UFC 254 main event by an MMA Page.
In response, tipped Nurmagomedov, 32, to retain his crown unifying the title.
"Of course, of course, Khabib is going to win! My brother! Inshallah!"
Ronaldo answered on an Instagram live stream.
Ronaldo and Khabib first met each other in 2018 when the Portuguese gifted his Real Madrid's T-shirt to the Eagle. Khabib is also a huge Real Madrid fan. Ronald also is an MMA fan and is very close to Khabib's arch rival Conor McGregor. He even trained with the Notorious in 2016 and even invited him and his coach John Kavanagh to Jennifer Lopez's party.
