Conor McGregor has teased 'big announcements' after sitting next to Cristiano Ronaldo at the boxing.
The pair were both in attendance to watch Anthony Joshua's victory over Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
Joshua needed just five rounds to see off his opponent and win his third fight of the year.
And both Ronaldo and McGregor were rocked as Joseph Parker powered his way to victory over Deontay Wilder on the same card.
McGregor has now taken to social media to tease some exciting news.
He shared a picture of himself sitting alongside both Ronaldo and Turki Alalshikh.
McGregor accompanied his post with a caption that read: "Legendary evening of Boxing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!
"BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING. @turkialalshik @cristiano."
But fans have mocked McGregor, saying Ronaldo looked awkward sitting next to him despite the pair smiling and joking together.
"What about the rest of the pics when Ronaldo looks like he thinks you are a complete melt !? Haha," said one user.
"That one guy you can't get rid of at the bar," said a second.
A third stated: "Long night for Cristiano right ear."
A fourth fan said: "Leave Ronaldo Alone bro."
"Was hard to find the pics where Ronaldo is smiling," were the words of a fifth user.
And a sixth said: "I know Ronaldo was tired of hearing you talking nonstop for the whole event."
McGregor could be suggesting he's on the verge of returning to UFC, having not fought since a defeat to Dustin Poirier back in 2021.
The Irishman has resumed full training since that defeat and has been eyeing a comeback to the Octagon.
However, McGregor recently said his patience with the UFC is 'wearing thin' with no confirmation of his return just yet.
"Get me back in there. Get the Mac back in there," he told talkSPORT last week.

"The Mac has loads to offer and loads to deliver.
"They’re talking Manny (Pacquiao) here in Saudi, the lads in the UFC aren’t really talking anything, the lads here talking Manny the lads in the UFC aren’t really talking anything. So I’m sitting here as usual.
"I’m talking about give me something, I’m supposed to be back in April but it was supposed to be December.
"For all the figures, I’ve brought into this game, I sell more than them all combined, no-one in the history of the fight game has ever been treated the way that I am being treated at this minute.
"They f*****g should open floodgates for me and I’m waiting and I’m waiting and I’m waiting.

Fans want to see McGregor face Michael Chandler.
But Chandler feels McGregor is delaying a potential showdown, saying: “I think right now he’s trying to wait me out.
“Because if you were him, would you want to wait as long as possible for the guy like me – who’s a real fighter, who wants to be in there, who wants to compete – so that I say ‘Screw it, I’m gonna go fight someone else.’
"And then he can go fight an easier fight – Nate Diaz… He can go find a much easier fight than fighting me.”
