Among the many skills Sydney Sweeney possesses, what makes her different from the others is her skill as a trained MMA fighter. The actress is extremely passionate about sports and has been learning them since she was fourteen. In fact, when she was in New York recently, she went to watch the semifinals of the ongoing UFC 288. Though she does not get the time to practice the sport anymore, she once revealed about fighting a few people into the Octagon.

Sweeney once did an interview with Elle where she spoke about whom she would fight in the cage as a trained MMA fighter. She began by saying that there are obviously fun people that she might want to have fun with in the ring, but then she moved on to the real part. She said, “There is a part in me that would love to bring in any of like my lower school, middle school, or high school bullies and just have a really good session.”

She mentioned that she just wants to let it all out on those who bullied her in high school. Growing up in the small town of Spokane, the actress attended the school there and might have faced bullies there. However, when she began MMA, she got really good at fighting and is capable of giving anybody a tough fight.

Sweeney has so far starred in some of the biggest shows and films of all time, but the best of all is Euphoria. The show is based on a bunch of teenagers, their high school lives, and the challenges they go through in them. One of the issues that the show displayed is bullying, which is showcased in the show primarily by a primary character called Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi.

He has done a fantastic job portraying the character, giving the audience a realistic feel. However, he is not the only bully in the show. At some point, his father, Cal Jacobs, was also portrayed as a bully, although even he does not compete with his son in it.
