Meeting a Monster

The first contest of the season just finished and what was the highlight of the last week: the average level of surfing? The Jordy-Dane battle? Bede's heat? The new head judge (NOT)? nop you got it all wrong guys, the highlight was about 1,90m high for 109kg and his name was Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira, one of the best and most famous fighter on earth. The story of his presence here was quite funny. He actually was in the first UFC fight in Sydney when he crossed Kelly Slater on a carpark there. KS immediatly recognized him, introduced himself and invited him to the contest. Then he hooked up with Jeremy and the Bevens. He was supposed to stay for few hours, he finally stayed for 2 days enjoying the vibe with the boys. They even had the privilege to train with him couple of times. The guy is really mellow and super cool to hang out with. I will show you the footage of the training very soon.
