Conor McGregor flies to Saudi Arabia in private jet as UFC star prepares to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo ringside

CONOR McGREGOR took a private jet to Saudi Arabia as he prepares to join Cristiano Ronaldo ringside to watch Anthony Joshua.

AJ returns in Riyadh against Joseph Parker on the same night Deontay Wilder faces Joseph Parker.

A win for the pair of former world heavyweight champions sets them up for a blockbuster back in Saudi in March.

McGregor was in attendance for AJ's last fight in August when he knocked out Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena.

A month later, he was invited over to Tyson Fury's crossover clash with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

And he watched as Ngannou, 37, dropped Fury, 35, but lost a controversial points decision.

The fight caused Fury's undisputed title decider with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, to be postponed to February 17.

So Joshua, 34, and Wilder, 38, stepped in to co-headline and again the stars are out in Riyadh.

McGregor, 35, travelled in style as he strutted across a runway to board his private jet wearing a sharp blue suit.

And he will be seated next to football icon and Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, in the front row.

Ronaldo took his seat next to promoter Frank Warren dressed in a green Gucci jacket.

And McGregor was not far behind him as as he showed off his custom-made suit which had dollar bills printed on the back.

He told Queensberry Promotions: "We've got the dough on the back!"

McGregor soon took his seat next to Ronaldo and the multimillionaire pair were all smiles and even compared their watches.
