Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley faced off in MMA competition on Saturday night.

The former Lakers teammates got their opportunity after developing a rivalry in the BIG3 and going head-to-head in a high-profile one-on-one basketball game.

Beasley got the better of Stephenson on the court, but the latter got revenge in the ring this weekend.

The ex-NBAers were part of the co-main event at Adin Ross’ Brandrisk Promotions 14 in Las Vegas, which Stephenson won in the first round.

A second-round pick by the Pacers in 2010, Stephenson got Beasley to tap out at 1:26.

Beasley got the first strike in shortly after the bell, but once Stephenson got him to ground, he locked in a rear-naked choke, forcing the 2008 second-overall pick to tap out.

The other main event featured Johnny Manziel and Bob Menery, with the former NFL quarterback claiming victory rather convincingly.

The card also featured an unofficial boxing match between Ray J and Supah Hot Fire, which was ruled a majority draw.
