And after the contest Rinaldi unsurprisingly lapped up the success – a seventh victory from his last 10 fights – while revealing the extent of the gory injury he sustained.
He smiled and flashed his hand at the camera, with his crooked left ring finger clear for all to see.
Speaking after the contest, Rinaldi explained the root cause of the injury – which has occurred on countless occasions over the years.
“So… he bit me. No, he didn’t (laughs). It originates from a dirt bike wreck 15 years ago - so it’s not special.
“It breaks every now and then so it hurts.
“It’s been like this for 15 years, or 16 now - I’m getting old!
“I should have (shown it off) during the interview, just like, ‘Joe Rogan it’s great to see you,’ (and lift it up) like a Ricky Bobby thing.”
When reacting to the win, he added: “Jason Knight was a tough guy for a featherweight debut in the UFC – he’s a tough guy.”
Rinaldi is now 14-6 after his ninth career decision win, while Knight dropped to 20-6.
