Ngannou and Ronaldo have a tight relationship, as evidenced on numerous occasions. The Portuguese superstar made an appearance at 'The Predator's' first professional boxing outing against Fury, which the Cameroonian lost via split decision.

Ronaldo also marked his presence at Ngannou's first MMA appearance since leaving the UFC, which took place earlier this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants, when he faced Renan Ferreira for the heavyweight title.

Ngannou defeated Ferreira via knockout in the main event after destroying him with several devastating blows in the first round. Ronaldo was seen jumping out of his seat in delight after Ngannou's knockout victory, expressing his joy for the former UFC fighter.
