Roy Nelson and John McCarthy have put their beef behind them.

"Big Country" was recently required to issue a public apology to the veteran referee after an incident in Brazil last September in which Nelson gave McCarthy a light kick on the ass following a win over Antonio Silva. Nelson felt that he had to deliver unnecessary strikes to Silva because McCarthy was slow to stop the fight.

It looks like they've made amends based on a pair of images that Nelson shared on Instagram on Friday.

In the pictures, Nelson can be seen chumming it up with McCarthy and allowing "Big John" to deliver his own kick to Nelson's rump, just to make everything even.
