Key takeaways
Benson Henderson beat Frankie Edgar by split decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 150 at the Ball Arena in Denver. In the co-main event, Donald Cerrone beat Melvin Guillard by knockout at 1:16 of round one.
Across the nine bouts that produced a result, six ended by knockout, one by submission and two on the judges' scorecards — seven stoppages in nine fights. One of the two decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Erik Perez, who stopped Ken Stone after 17 seconds, and four of the seven finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Max Holloway's knockout of Justin Lawrence, 9 minutes and 49 seconds in. End to end, the nine fights filled one hour and 15 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: four of its five results came early, against three of the four above it. Dennis Bermudez (submission, round one), Michael Kuiper (knockout, round two) and Erik Perez (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
One ranked fighters appeared. The only other ranked name was Max Holloway, No. 4 at lightweight.
