It didn’t quite match the drama of a “Scooby Doo” bad-guy unmasking, but UFC champion Cris Cyborg provided some fun with today’s open-workout grappling partner.

While working out for fans at today’s fan and media session in Las Vegas, the UFC 222 headliner hit the mat and rolled with a mystery masked man.
