The current surfing world champion posted, on his twitter, this photo posing with the former UFC champion. “I forgot to post this one  on Twitter for my Brazilian fans,” wrote the demon of the waves.

Nogueira’s last appearance happened to be in Australia, at UFC 110, where he lost to Cain Velasquez.

O atual campeão mundial de surfe postou, em seu twitter, esta foto tietando o ex-campeão do UFC. “Esqueci de postar essa para meus fãs brasileiros no twitter”, mandou o casca-grossa das ondas.

Nogueira fez sua última luta justamente na Austrália, no UFC 110, quando perdeu para Cain Velasquez.
