Key takeaways
Amir Albazi beat Kai Kara-France by split decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Alex Caceres beat Daniel Pineda after three rounds at featherweight.
Across the 13 bouts that produced a result, four ended by knockout, one by submission and eight on the judges' scorecards — five stoppages in 13 fights. Two of the eight decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Jim Miller, who stopped Jesse Butler after 23 seconds, and two of the five finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Da'Mon Blackshear's knockout of Luan Lacerda, 8 minutes and 54 seconds in. End to end, the 13 fights filled two hours and 37 minutes of cage time.
