Key takeaways
Georges St-Pierre beat Dan Hardy by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 111 at the Prudential Center in Newark. In the co-main event, Shane Carwin beat Frank Mir by knockout at 3:48 of round one.
Across the ten bouts that produced a result, two ended by knockout, three by submission and four on the judges' scorecards — six stoppages in ten fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Rousimar Palhares, who stopped Tomasz Drwal after 45 seconds, and three of the six finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Matthew Riddle's dq of Greg Soto, 11 minutes and 30 seconds in. End to end, the ten fights filled one hour and 47 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: two of its two results came early, against four of the eight above it. Nate Diaz (knockout, round one) and Ricardo Almeida (submission, round two) all closed before the judges were needed.
