VIDEO: Ariana Grande lights up UFC history as Celine Dion in brilliant SNL sketch


Ariana Grande, Celine Dion and the UFC. What could they possibly have in common?

Funny people Saturday Night Live answered that question this weekend with a hilarious sketch in which Grande lampooned her fellow superstar singer for her recent promotions. Sunday night football. This time, however, Celine Dion's version of Grande employs her legendary voice to honor another enduring American institution: The UFC.

Check out the sketch below, which doubles as a sly ad for UFC 308 on Oct. 26.

Mentioning Dion's classic ballad It's all coming back to me now (As Dion did in his NFL tribute), Grande pays homage to moments in UFC history that every fight fan will agree are unforgettable — for better or worse.

Bones were broken and knees were up to the ball,” Grande sang, before joking around with Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Mike Perry.

Even cageside commentators Daniel Cormier, Joe Rogan and John Onick weren't safe, as Grande cracked, “Dozens of commentators. The shiniest of all bald and shirtless.”

Perhaps the most biting line was Grande's reference to the loss of MMA fighters, “It all comes back to me, though maybe not because of the injury to them, no?”

After this, you won't see Keith Hackney punching Joe Son in the groin again and again, that's for sure.
