Ronaldo, 31, is now on the short list to win his fourth Ballon d’Or for after leading his Real Madrid to the Champions League and Portugal to the European Championship.
The two men also had time to pose for some photo opportunities, creating a UFC-style McGregor and Ronaldo face-off.
McGregor is one month away from UFC 202, where he will face Nate Diaz in a rematch following his defeat at UFC 196.
He then took to Instagram to post a photo of the pair sizing each other up in the Octagon with the caption “Great to see you bro!”.
Just a day in the life of Cristiano Ronaldo, eh? Thank you @cristiano, much respect!
A video emerged of him in the front row of the gig at Planet Hollywood alongside a male pal, enjoying the sights and sounds of one of pop’s biggest names.

McGregor was complimentary of Ronaldo on Instagram, but also had a cheeky little dig at the Real Madrid talisman – saying “I will see you for that Forbes number 1 spot next year”.
