In between sightings at the Olympic games, David Beckham has been back in LA playing for the Galaxy in a series of exhibition matches, including Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.

Whilst in LA, David got his hands on a different sort of gold when he met mixed martial arts champion Junior Dos Santos from Brazil. Dos Santos competes for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which is shown across the world in over 150 countries and is incredibly popular with a variety of sportsmen. The England rugby team said they often watched the UFC during the most recent World Cup in New Zealand and incorporate mixed martial arts into their training.

The UFC have been hosting events in the UK for the past ten years, selling out arenas from the O2 and MEN, and the Royal Albert Hall. The UFC will be hosting their one-and-only UK event this year on 29th September at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham. Tickets are available from www.UFC.com.
