Get full results here.
Some fighters experienced the highest of highs, like up-and-coming contender Yair Rodriguez, who knocked out longtime veteran and all-around mixed martial arts (MMA) legend, BJ Penn, in the headlining bout. "El Pantera" knocked around " The Prodigy" for five the first five minutes of the bout before putting the finishing touches on the Hawaiian early in the second frame (watch it).
The result was a bump up to No. 8 in the rankings.
Rising flyweight prospected Sergio Pettis took a big step forward in the 125-pound rankings -- to the tune of six spots -- by turning away John Moraga to notch his third straight win, as well as spot in the top 10 at flyweight.
That's not all.
