They both left the arena worse for the wear, but an extra $100,000 richer – which maybe helped them smile through the pain.

Gregory Rodrigues (20-6 MMA, 11-3 UFC) upset home headliner Anthony Hernandez (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 285 main event Saturday at Golden1 Center in Sacramento, Calif. Rodrigues mostly dominated Hernandez, save for the third round, and took a unanimous decision in which the stats were outsized in his favor.
Afterward, the fighters met backstage – with Hernandez tending to a shoulder with a big bag of ice, and Rodrigues already hobbling on crutches. He threw dozens of kicks in the fight.
