One pop icon impersonated another on "SNL" this past week.
Ariana Grande, who hosted "Saturday Night Live" this past week, appeared in a sketch where she nailed her impression of Celine Dion, who recently appeared in a surprise promo for Sunday Night Football.
However, the "SNL" sketch went one step further and had the "My Heart Will Go On" singer doing a promo for UFC titled "It's All Coming Back To Me Now."
"But football is not the only sport that connects us to our past," Grande as Dion said. "No, there is another sports whose timeless emotions invoke the bitter-sweet memories that live inside my soul. And, in the octagon."

The sketch continues to reminisce on moments from UFC history, and even referenced the sport's announcers who are "all bald."
"And in the shiniest of shirts," Grande as Dion added.
Grande, who is set to star in the upcoming film "Wicked," hosted alongside Stevie Nicks as the musical guest.
This week's episode also featured this season's star-studded election cast, with impressions of former President Donald Trump, played by cast member James Austin Johnson, and Vice President Kamala Harris, played by Maya Rudolph, facing off on "Family Feud."
