Cristiano Ronaldo Is Now Neighbors With UFC Star Conor McGregor

Cristiano Ronaldo just bought a mansion in Marbella and is now neighbors with UFC star Conor McGregor.

Ronaldo has been known to have an array of fancy cars, while he also splashes out on properties around the world. And just recently, the Portuguese superstar added a £1.3 million ($1.5 million) mansion in Marbella to his £27 million ($32.8 million) property collection, The Sun noted.

The luxurious villa is located at the heart of the exclusive development called The Heights in the La Resina golf and country club estate. His new estate is reportedly a four-bedroom property, has an LED driveway, private gym, cinema room and an infinity pool.

Another sports icon also owns a mansion in the same development. MMA's McGregor also owns a property in The Heights and is now neighbors with Ronaldo.

McGregor and Ronaldo have had a pretty good relationship as friends. The two superstars even trained together in the past. The former two-division UFC champ has also been a supporter of Ronaldo for quite some time. McGregor praised Ronaldo during the heat of his "hat-trick" against Atletico Madrid earlier this year.

According to McGregor, Ronaldo is a phenomenal athlete and has the qualities of a role model, especially for the youth, JOE.co.uk reported.

"Cristiano is a phenomenal athlete, person, and entrepreneur. His all-around discipline, perfectionist attitude, and dedication to his craft is inspiring and has inspired so many young children to play football," McGregor said.

McGregor also added that both him and Ronaldo are dominating their respective sport.

"We are both disciplined athletes at the top of our game," McGregor added.

There's no doubt Ronaldo has earned millions in football having been at the top of the sport for almost 15 years. According to Forbes, he's the second highest paid athlete in the world and is believed to be worth £365 million. He is often compared to his peer Lionel Messi, who is also a football icon and holds the number one spot on the list of highest-paid athletes in the world.

Meanwhile, McGregor is still one of the highest-paid fighters in the UFC. His title fights generated a huge amount of money for the promotion in the last four years. Aside from being famous with his flamboyant personality, McGregor is also known for his luxurious belongings. He owns a pair of rare Gucci coats which gained controversy after the UFC star flaunted it on his social media account.
