Key takeaways
Jon Jones beat Anthony Smith by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 235 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Kamaru Usman beat Tyron Woodley after five rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, five ended by knockout, one by submission and six on the judges' scorecards — six stoppages in twelve fights. One of the six decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Johnny Walker, who stopped Misha Cirkunov after 36 seconds, and five of the six finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Diego Sanchez's knockout of Mickey Gall, 9 minutes and 13 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 10 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: four of its seven results came early, against two of the five above it. Johnny Walker (knockout, round one), Diego Sanchez (knockout, round two) and Edmen Shahbazyan (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Four ranked fighters appeared.
