The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder
David Beckham finally got his hands on gold when he met mixed martial
artist and UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos of Brazil.
Beckham has been relentlessly flying back and forth across the
Atlantic from his native London
to L.A. as he attempts to watch as many of the Olympic Games
as possible, whilst also playing for Bruce Arena's MLS team. The
Galaxy recently drew 1-1 in the game against Premier League side
Spurs,
but suffered a 5-1 defeat against Beckham's former club Real Madrid in
a friendly match at the Home Depot Center.
Recently, Beckham who was not
included in Stuart Pearce's Team
GB squad despite helping London to land the games back
in 2005, met title holder Dos Santos after training at galaxy. Dos
Santos defeated Mexican
fighter Cain Velasquez last November to take the heavyweight belt and
successfully defended his status
against Frank Mir at UFC 146 earlier in the year. His next opponent hasn't been
announced, but there's no danger of the handsome Becks stepping in the
octagon to mess up his comb-over again!
