Quintet went down in Las Vegas last night and the UFC came out on top in this MMA-themed grappling extravaganza.
Quintet made its US return last night with an event pitting ZUFFA-owned MMA brands against each other. The opening round saw Strikeforce face-off against the WEC and PRIDE go toe-to-toe with the UFC. The card also featured super fights starring grappling phenoms Craig Jones and Gordon Ryan. Check out the full results below (h/t grapplinginsider.com):
