Chris Cyborg revealed that she could submit Floyd Mayweather in her MMA debut, and the Brazilian fighter showed that she is capable of forcing a man to give the famous 'three taps'. At UFC 222's open training session, the woman from Paraná was making her presentation to the fans when a masked man invaded the stage and “attacked” her. The featherweight champion showed her skill and finished the man quickly. When the mask was removed, the “invader” was none other than B.J. Penn, one of three fighters to win the UFC belt in two different categories and a member of the organization's Hall of Fame (watch the video below).
