An American UFC fighter left his opponent motionless on the canvas after pummeling him in 93 seconds

• There were three finishes in the UFC prelims.

• Pete Rodriguez made Mike Jackson look like a fool.

• There were six bouts that preceded the main card.

The UFC returned to its studio in Las Vegas after a week-long break to film a Fight Night event in Las Vegas.

Though it was scheduled for three rounds, Pete Rodriguez and Mike Jackson didn't need any of them as they closed the show early.

Rodriguez hit his opponent with body shots, cracked his skull with punches, and floored him with a knee.

Jackson's legs were buckled. The fight lasted 93 seconds, but he lay motionless for at least one minute after he was unconscious.

The crowd began to applaud as Jackson regained his senses.

The replay of the devastating finish was shown on the big screens.

Joanderson Brito finished Lucas Alexander in the first round with a rear-naked choke.

Brito won.

Jacob Malkoun overcame Nick Maximov's power punching in the opener, a round in which he was knocked down, to come back with strong work of his own.

There were many members of the fight team filming the action and shouting words of encouragement for their teammate.

One of his training partners asked why Nick was wincing.

It became clear that Maximov was fighting through an injury that was troubling him a lot.

With each minute that passed, the more damage was done to himself as he tried to continue.

Malkoun secured the win with a clean sweep of the judges' scores.

One of the best fights of all time was saved when Brandon Davis was clobbered by Mana Martinez but, bizarrely, he seemed to let him off the hook by not following up and putting his opponent away for good.

James Kraus told his fighter to hunt the finish between the second and third rounds.

The finish never came.

The right man won after the judges split the decision.

The preliminaries of the UFC Fight Night were broadcasted.

The women's flyweight fight was the top of the show.
