Across the nine bouts that produced a result, four ended by knockout, two by submission and three on the judges' scorecards — six stoppages in nine fights. One of the three decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Jackson Glass, who stopped Zak Flessas after 47 seconds, and three of the six finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Victoria Alba's knockout of Borena Tsertsvadze, 14 minutes and 50 seconds in. End to end, the nine fights filled one hour and 28 minutes of cage time.
The main card finished at the higher rate: three of four, against three of the five below it. Gamid Khizriev (submission, round one), Jackson Glass (knockout, round one) and Victoria Alba (knockout, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
Six weight classes were used, featherweight most often with three bouts.
