Stipe Miocic is the longest reigning UFC MMA heavyweight world champion. When he was first pitted against Francis Ngannou - (who has the highest recorded punching power in any sport ever and is considered to be the most dangerous opponent in MMA) - he was put down as the underdog by almost everyone. He dominated the whole fight. I especially like how he dodges the punches and appears to know exactly when and where they’re coming from.

Yago Lamela with one of the longest jumps ever at 8.56m. If you watch enough long jumps, you begin to see that each jumper has their own style. I picked this jump because I found Yago Lamela had an incredibly graceful style to his jump.

Truls Torp death diving in Norway. Rare to see someone falling through the air with such relaxed composure.

Tim Alongi and Jean-Baptiste Chandelier are acro-paragliders. Here they are skimming over sand dunes barefoot. Although their movement is very graceful and fun, don’t be fooled - this is incredibly dangerous. One unexpected gust of wind could pick them up and slam them into the ground breaking their bones. Good thing they are specialists!

Russian skydive routine over dubai, shot on a gopro. One of the most beautiful showcases of human movement I have ever seen.

Michael Pereira pulls regular backflips and spins in his fights. Not all his fights are wins, but in every fight he will have you on the edge of your seat (or off it). These are not movie fight scenes - every one of his opponents are trying their best to knock him out, which makes his moves all the more impressive.
