Have you ever wanted to kick someone in the face while free-falling out of an airplane? Well, all your action movies fantasies are coming true now that "Full Contact Skydiving" exists. In the video, three-time UFC bantamweight title challenger Urijah Faber coaches two competitors in this new sport that combines Mixed Martial Arts with Skydiving.

The video makes it look like one part UFC and and one part Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon . "We saw a lot of biting, eye gouging, headbutting, guys losing consciousness. As soon as the helmets came in, that changed everything,"  says one competitor. "You have to pull your chute by 4,000 feet. No tampering with equipment."

Aaand of course it's all a huge joke. The video is an elaborate parody, which maybe should have been obvious, especially with the addition of the referee free-falling beside the fighters. But it had us going! Wishful thinking, I guess... Hats off to Faber and team for taking the time to come up with the video and a pretty legit-looking website.
