The UFC has something called the BMF (Baddest Mother F***er) title. It is somewhat meaningless and is used by the UFC to add some hype to a non-title bout. However, Francis Ngannou will take on Tyson Fury in a crossover super-fight on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a fight to determine who the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet” is.

And while it is a boxing match, which undoubtedly favors Fury a lot, Ngannou taking on the lineal heavyweight boxing champion has more of a claim at determining the ‘Baddest’ man. And there might be a very special person in attendance: soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who also recently gave his friend Ngannou a very expensive gift.

Ngannou shared a video on his official Instagram account recently. In it, he could be seen visiting a Jacob and Co. outlet, who are luxury watchmakers, to pick up a gift from soccer superstar and Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Ngannou and Ronaldo had met earlier this year and became really friendly. The soccer star is a fan of boxing and the UFC, and there is a chance he might attend the Ngannou-Fury fight.
The gift turned out to be a limited-edition ‘Heart of Ronaldo timepiece’ collection watch, which cost a whopping $110,000. He also met the co-owner of the privately owned company, Jacob Arabo. The watch was presented to him in a customized CR7 box, and he posed with the timepiece. He thanked Cristiano Ronaldo for the watch in a caption with the video.

Clearly, fans are excited for Ngannou to take on Fury in just four days. Most have written off the Cameroonian due to the training videos and open workouts he put on. But it is true that in the heavyweight division, all it takes is one punch to end the fight. However, Fury is a historically great fighter, and the chances of a Ngannou victory, based on the evidence thus far, are very slim.
