UFC fighter Gunnar Nelson has a talent. Well, maybe not a talent, but a secret. A secret until this past weekend.

It has nothing to do with him keeping his cool during fights and in all cases but one coming out on top. We're not focusing on his humbleness after the fights regardless if he wins or loses, again - just once. And it's not his appreciation for donuts. That used to be an unknown fact until his favorite donuts seemed not to be available in the local bakeries any more. No, we're talking dancing. Some serious dancing!

Gunnar's gym Mjölnir celebrated its annual party this past weekend. A part of the festivities was a video starring Gunnar and fellow fighters at Mjölnir. The video shows Gunnar, Arni The Iceviking Isaksson, Þráinn Kolbeinsson and Henning Jonasson performing some "unbelievable" moves which surely had their friends at Mjölnir laughing their behinds off during the party.

The foursome dances to the song Chandelier by Sia. According to the people at Mjölnir this video was the only one prudent enough for YouTube. The video can be seen below along with Sia's official video. Some similarities are in the videos. Among others are the dresses the Icelandic fighters wear which are not too different to the one twelve year old Maddie Ziegler wears in Sia's video.
