According to The Telegraph, Ronaldo did not seem to enjoy the company of McGregor and looked like he would rather be anywhere else apart from being seated with the MMA fighter's ringside jabbering.

At one point, the legendary forward seemingly ignored McGregor and refused a handshake.

Marca reports that Ronaldo's body language through his interaction with the Irishman made clear his feelings towards his 'seatmate.'

So awkward the duo's interaction was that fans were quick to take note of it.

One noted:

"Laughing our life 😂😂."

A second joked:

"I wasn’t in the MLS at 35."

Another added:

"When they say your career is gone, you laugh because they don't know great things awaits you 😍😍."
