One bizarre mask and heads touching! It got heated during the UFC Vegas face offs | Woodley v Burns

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a short video of the face offs for UFC Vegas Woodley v Burns. I found it on the BT Sport youtube channel.

This video shows the changes to face off procedures in the UFC because of the pandemic. I have enjoyed seeing the way that some fighters used their masks as an extension of their personality in these weird times. I find it kind of interesting how the fighters wear masks for the face offs only to completely disregard them and any kind of social distancing on fight night.
