Sean O'Malley and Pedro Munhoz put the 'A' in MMA during a recent social media video for their bout this weekend.

A variety of combatants from the UFC 276 main card attempted to draw their opponents during the build-up to their fights on July 2. It was shared on the official UFC Twitter page and showcased varying levels of proficiency.

Jared Cannonier and Sean O'Malley also performed some solid Bob Ross impressions before marking up their respective canvases.

Watch the video below:

In a combination of clips featured in the compilation video, O'Malley said:

"Hey, guys. Sean Ross here and we're going to paint Pedro....Pedro's got a big head. F**ked up nose, but I don't really know how to draw that... A smile, for now...Gonna be looking a little cross eyed here in a couple of days...Pedro Munhoz (gestures to portrait)"

In comments spread throughout the fun video, Munhoz said:

"His crazy colourful hair...I see his beard's not lined up like mine. That's why it looks kind of messed up like this. If it was mine, it would be more fresh and lined up, you know....Do him with abs, you know. Boom, that's it."

It was a fun exercise to be sure, but the pleasantries will be in the rear view once the cage door is closed behind these two.
