THAT’S A BIT DIFFERENT!!!
That probably will be enough to give people some pause about this actually happening. But for the time being, this is official, it’s real. Mayweather, 41, hasn’t fought since he toyed with
UFC star Conor McGregor in Aug. 2017 in a massive novelty fight. He’s 50-0 (27 KO) in his boxing career, of course, and this will be his first fight outside of the United States as a professional.
Conor McGregor believes Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new bumper Real Madrid contract
from the DAILY MIRROR
Ronaldo has been made to wait for a new contract but it appears that his wish has been granted and he could have the deal announced this month.
UFC poster boy Conor McGregor has revealed that his friend Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new contract with Real Madrid.
The Irish superstar admitted in a recent interview that he will find it hard to knock Ronaldo off the top of the Forbes money list because of a new deal.
Ronaldo’s future at the Bernabeu has been under scrutiny in recent weeks as he enters the final two years of his contract.
Now 31, Ronaldo’s future could have been away from La Liga – but he appears to have landed the new deal that he craved.
McGregor and Ronaldo recently met up in California
The pair squared off in the Octagon – but didn’t actually fight
Last season, it is alleged that the Portuguese ace pleaded with Real Madrid bosses to extend his stay at the club.
And it appears that he might have had a his wish granted.
McGregor, who recently met up with Ronaldo in California, appears to have let slip that Ronaldo has put pen to paper on a new deal to keep him in Spain.
When the Notorious was asked if he could beat Ronaldo to the summit of the sportsman’s earnings list, he admitted: “That’ll be tough.
Ronaldo has recently returned to training with Real Madrid
He is working to get fit for the start of the La Liga season
“He’s just signed a new contract with Real Madrid but we’ll see, maybe next year I’ll have him.”
News of a new deal could be announced by Real before the end of this month.
Ronaldo is unlikely to be involved in the international break at the end of the month, where Portugal are set to play against Gibraltar.
As a result, Real are reportedly planning a new contract celebration during that period for Ronaldo in front of his fans.
Lisbon radio are playing the singles off Ivan Rato’s ‘Voz da Lusitania’ fado album day and night celebrating the Portuguese EUROPEAN CUP WIN.
Emilia sings the “Davida ceu – Christano Ronaldo” you can check several of these Portuguese heartfelt songs (She does sing ‘fado’ so I hope you speak the language) you can check them out on the flag of:
THE MATADOR ‘CONNECTION’
On Monday 6th July 2015 we presented Tara Miliata 7th Degree Certification to the best fighter in Lisbon (Probably all of Portugal as well). He has never done traditional martial arts training but was a famous Portuguese boxer (At the same time I was looking after Joe Cocker, the Rolling Stones and all that crew). He has always been a top Lisbon boxing trainer (His own son is a current champion).
He is also “THE MAN ABOUT TOWN – IF YOU WANT ANYTHING DONE HE CAN DO IT”.
Orlando J Madaleno is a name both feared and respected by all of town-town Lisbon and up the coast to Porto. His full time school of Boxing, Kickboxing and BJJ is now an affiliated member of BJMA – Europe – Portuguese Division. He coaches all the boxing, he has young trainers looking after the kickboxing and has very competent grapplers looking after all of the groundwork.
ORLANDO MADALENO – 7TH DEGREE TARA MILIATA
His other claim-to-fame was that as a young man he got all of the most famous matadors super fit for their future careers in the bullring. Mario Coelho, Eduardo Oliveira and many others really respect this amazing fighter – and now he’s on OUR TEAM. Better than that, he heads up our TEAM PORTUGAL.

MARIO COELHO
Mario Coelho is a famous Portuguese matador who has acquired great skills that are identical to our EPC technique developed with Professor David Brown.
“I must go and do what is expected of me by both the fans and the rules of the ritual, which at the end of the day – is my life”: MARIO COELHO
In 2015, Bob Jones & Ivo Rato attended a celebration of Mario Coelho and presented him with this framed 10th Degree Tara Miliata Belt, which is now on display at the Mário Coelho House Museum.
My upcoming book, THE CELTS will elaborate on my concept of *MMA – *Matadors & Martial Artists and how they intertwine.
‘Wife who was sat in the crowd as her Spanish matador husband was gored to death – the first bullfighter killed in 30 years’
The wife of a top bullfighter looked on in horror as her husband was gored to death during a festival in eastern Span. Victor Barrio, 29, from Segovia was fighting in Teruel, Aragon in eastern Spain when the bull speared him through the chest. His wife, Raquel Sanz, 32, was in the crowd, having organised a group of supporters from their home town to attend the event.
During the summer months of 2020, Eduardo Oliveira and Mario Coelho were both struck down with the Coronavirus COVID – 19 and were admitted to hospital. Eduardo, the younger man would survive. Mario Coelho at 84 years of age lost his battle for life on Sunday 7th July 2020 – I would like to acknowledge Mario Coelho, along with Juan Belmonte as CELTIMANIA FOUNDATION – LEVEL 1, the first step towards their immortality…
