This may come as a surprise to some, but did you know that Sydney Sweeney is a mixed martial arts fighter? Earlier this week, the Euphoria star took to Instagram to share a compilation video of herself training with her coach. "Missed this," the actor wrote in the caption of her post.

Back in 2018, Sweeney told Marie Claire that she's been practicing the sport since she was 14 years old and took part in her first competition at 18. "It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place," she said. "Those guys were probably saying, 'Oh, we didn’t want to hurt her,' but they were definitely trying. Everyone broke a sweat!"

Last year, the talent revealed at The Kelly Clarkson Show that she hasn't been able to train properly due to her job. "Unfortunately, you sign a little piece of paper that says you’re not to do X, Y, and Z and I am all of X, Y, and Z," she explained.

Watch Sweeney in action below. In case you missed it, the actor recently shared her secret to glowing skin.
