Aggressive Hummingbird Behavior

I have two hummingbird feeders that I keep cleaned and filled w/ sugar-water solution. About 10 hummers flock around the feeders now that migration is underway. The most unusual thing I saw was one hummingbird clutching another one by the head and forcing it onto the ground! The dominant one held the other there for ~5-10 seconds and then flew away. The one pinned down then flew away, too. I've never seen this before.
