Israel Adesanya meets Cristiano Ronaldo

Israel Adesanya, the accomplished mixed martial artist and kickboxer from New Zealand, recently had an encounter with Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo, and he couldn’t help but express his admiration for the football legend.

In an Instagram story post, Adesanya captioned the meeting with the words: “I don’t keep up with sports; I follow greatness.”

The video of their meeting showed a friendly exchange between the two, with Adesanya remarking on Ronaldo’s impressive height, saying, “You’re pretty tall; I didn’t know you were this tall.” He also promised to catch one of Ronaldo’s games.

It’s worth noting that Ronaldo’s Al Nassr has seen a significant improvement in form after a rocky start in the Saudi Pro League, currently holding the fourth position in the league standings.
