Key takeaways
Tyron Woodley beat Robbie Lawler by knockout at 2:12 of round one in the main event of UFC 201 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. In the co-main event, Karolina Kowalkiewicz beat Rose Namajunas, the division's No. 5, by split decision after three rounds.
Across the ten bouts that produced a result, five ended by knockout, one by submission and four on the judges' scorecards — six stoppages in ten fights. Two of the four decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Anthony Hamilton, who stopped Damian Grabowski after 14 seconds, and five of the six finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Nikita Krylov's knockout of Ed Herman, 5 minutes and 40 seconds in. End to end, the ten fights filled one hour and 14 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: four of its five results came early, against two of the five above it. Nikita Krylov (knockout, round two), Anthony Hamilton (knockout, round one) and Wilson Reis (submission, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Two ranked fighters appeared. The only other ranked name was Nikita Krylov, No. 12 at light heavyweight.
