Volkanovski spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo's request

Alex Volkanovski, UFC featherweight champion, explained what request the legendary football player Cristiano Ronaldo made to him.

“We talked. Just unbelieveble. He wanted me to fight in Saudi Arabia. He told Adesanya the same thing. He wanted a big card there. I was like, “Look, if anyone can do this, I’m sure it’s you. You can somehow influence this decision, buddy,” the fighter said.

Let us remind you that Volkanovski will hold his next fight on February 17 in Anaheim. At UFC 298 he will fight with Ilia Topuria.
