We see Cristiano Ronaldo as the epitome of aerial presence in soccer. After all, he did jump 256 centimeters in the air to score a header for Juventus against Sampdoria last year, a world record. 

His record was broken.

And not by a player people know either; it was by a little-known Ugandan defender playing in Scotland. Jumping 262 cm in the air was Bevis Mugabi of Motherwell, bagging for his club against Ross County in a 1-0 win. 

Bevis’ mighty leap was a win for the little guys against the big, famous players of soccer.
