The world of sports changes with a blink of an eye. Within a decade, champions get replaced, titles are exchanged and people create history in just one night. No matter which sport you play, if one is not special enough to shock the world, they are made to pack their bags and go home. This is why consistency is amongst the revered assets by fans for their favourite sportspersons.

Ex-UFC star Cain Velasquez and legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo have maintained their form and fitness to reach the very top of their respective sports. No wonder, they are legends and are equally intimidating when it comes down to showcase their talents. However, the gladiators are at the dusk of their careers and they might decide to retire in the near future. Let us take a look at a video from 2011 when Ronaldo and Velasquez met each other.
