The sports-related results of Super Bowl 50 are still up in the air, but when Beyoncé and Bruno Mars engage in a dance battle, everyone wins. Though the world (kind of) expected a Beyoncé dance-off in some form, no one was sure which poor soul would be her opponent. But if there were a fair competitor, it's tiny, nimble Bruno Mars.

During their stints as Coldplay's halftime show guests of honor, Bruno and Bey held a dance competition that amounted to a boys-vs-girls standoff. The result was booty shaking, high kicks, Versace, what was likely an ode to Michael Jackson, and a casual garter belt. Watch it all in the video below, then decide who won the most important face-off of the evening.
