Key takeaways
Robert Whittaker beat Kelvin Gastelum by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Andrei Arlovski beat Chase Sherman after three rounds.
Across the ten bouts that produced a result, one ended by knockout, one by submission and eight on the judges' scorecards — two stoppages in ten fights. Four of the eight decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Gerald Meerschaert, who stopped Bartosz Fabinski at 2:00 of round one, and one of the two finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Tony Gravely's knockout of Anthony Birchak, 6 minutes and 31 seconds in. End to end, the ten fights filled two hours and 15 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: two of its five results came early, against no of the five above it. Gerald Meerschaert (submission, round one) and Tony Gravely (knockout, round two) all closed before the judges were needed.
Three ranked fighters appeared.
ESPN carried all ten bouts, split across a main card and one preliminary block.
