Video: Nothing to see here… just Gunnar Nelson dancing to Chandelier by Sia

What a shower of gi bags

Do not adjust your eyes, this actually happened.

Icelandic Adopted Irishman Gunnar Nelson is perhaps one of the scariest looking dudes in MMA.

Apart from his slick submission skills and unusual striking technique, he is known for his trademark thousand-yard stare, which at the UFC Dublin pre-fight press conference, caused this reporter to soil his pants in terror.

The 15th-ranked welterweight in the UFC is widely acknowledged as one of the best, if not, the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners on the continent of Europe. Simply put, the man is an absolute animal inside the cage.

That is why it is so surreal to see Gunni sporting a skimpy, low-cut top and prancing to Chandelier by Australian songstress Sia. To add to the craziness of the video, some of his equally scary-looking Mjölnir teammates also join in the jiving fun.

There’s something really unsettling about seeing a bunch of brutes frolicking to one of the least intimidating songs ever written.
