Fortunes changed for five at UFC Pittsburgh

The axiom that it's often the shows you least expect that wind up being fun events held true on Saturday night as UFC Pittsburgh featured not only one of the best nights of explosive finishes, but one of the company's best fights of 2017 in the lightweight battle between Gregor Gillespie and Jason Gonzalez.

Going head-to-head with the second biggest boxing match of the year, with Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin tearing down their house as well, it was a night that UFC probably felt low on a lot of people's priority lists.

But when it was over, the night was full of highlight-reel knockouts up and down the show.
