Key takeaways
Daniel Cormier beat Alexander Gustafsson by split decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 192 at the Toyota Center in Houston. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Ryan Bader beat Rashad Evans after three rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, four ended by knockout, one by submission and seven on the judges' scorecards — five stoppages in twelve fights. One of the seven decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Sage Northcutt, who stopped Francisco Trevino after 57 seconds, and four of the five finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Derrick Lewis's knockout of Viktor Pesta, 11 minutes and 15 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 15 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: five of its seven results came early, against no of the five above it. Albert Tumenov (knockout, round one), Adriano Martins (knockout, round one) and Rose Namajunas (submission, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Seven ranked fighters appeared, among them champion Islam Makhachev.
