Ronaldo is much cooler and is more powerful in charisma than Messi: Ex-UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov

When discussing Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Man United, former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said (as quoted by Sport24): “I don’t want to disclose any personal messages… Ronaldo said he was bored in Italy and wanted to go back to England.

“I’m also not a fan of Italian football, [but] the English Premier League I won't switch over. Any team there can put on a show.”

Khabib also weighed in on the Ronaldo-Lionel Messi comparisons, saying: “Cristiano is much cooler, I think.

“Messi is one of the best in history. But if in the game they’re equal, then in charisma Cristiano is more powerful.”

Cristiano is good friends in real life with Nurmagomedov, so there could be something into his comments.

Ronaldo opted to return to Old Trafford this summer, but could have a face-off with Messi in the Champions League if PSG faces Man United.
