The 50 most dominant athletes alive by Scott Davis and Emmett Knowlton on May 30, 2016, 8:54 AM Advertisement
 Our list of dominant athletes covers stars from all over the world whose superiority over their respective sports has led to unparalleled success. Some of the names on here are mainstays — recognizable athletes who have reigned supreme in their sports over long periods of time and aren't going anywhere. Others are athletes who are on the rise, up-and-comers quickly proving that they are and will be forces to be reckoned with in years to come. Check out our list of the 50 most dominant athletes alive below. Cork Gaines contributed to this list. 50. Miesha Tate  UFC fighter Age: 29 Tate has won five fights in a row, dating back to 2014. Her most recent win was over Holly Holm — who beat Ronda Rousey — by submission. A rematch with Rousey, to whom Tate lost to in 2013, would be intriguing.
49. N'Golo Kante  Leicester City center midfielder Age: 25 Kante was the best player on the best team in England this season, the speedy box-to-box midfielder who unlocked Leicester City's devastating counterattack by defending well and distributing even better. The Foxes' dream season wouldn't have happened without Kante, and now the French international is expected to sign with a bigger club in England.
48. Teddy Riner  Judoka Age: 27 Riner hasn't lost a match since 2010. The French heavyweight has won Olympic gold in 2012, six world championships — including the last three from 2013 to 2015 — and the 2015 World Masters.
