Key takeaways
Dricus Du Plessis beat Sean Strickland by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 312 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Zhang Weili beat Tatiana Suarez, the division's No. 2, after five rounds at women's strawweight.
Across the ten bouts that produced a result, two ended by knockout, one by submission and seven on the judges' scorecards — three stoppages in ten fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Quillan Salkilld, who stopped Anshul Jubli after 19 seconds, and two of the three finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Gabriel Santos's submission of Jack Jenkins, 12 minutes and 6 seconds in. End to end, the ten fights filled two hours and 18 minutes of cage time.
The main card finished at the higher rate: one of three, against two of the seven below it. Gabriel Santos (submission, round three) and Quillan Salkilld (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Seven ranked fighters appeared, and four of them were in the top two bouts, among them champion Sean Strickland.
Nine weight classes were used, lightweight most often with three bouts.
