Key takeaways
Darren Stewart beat Antonio Zovak by knockout at 1:56 of round one in the main event of Cage Warriors 164 at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle. In the co-main event, Chris Bungard beat Perry Andre Goodwin by submission at 4:05 of round one at bantamweight.
Across the 14 bouts that produced a result, seven ended by knockout, three by submission and four on the judges' scorecards — ten stoppages in 14 fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Naglis Kanišauskas, who stopped Chris Douglass at 1:10 of round one, and seven of the ten finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Carlos Graca's knockout of Michael Jaguar, 14 minutes and 10 seconds in. End to end, the 14 fights filled two hours and 14 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: eight of its ten results came early, against two of the four above it. Kennedy Freeman (knockout, round one), Orlando Wilson Prins (knockout, round one) and Naglis Kanišauskas (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Six weight classes were used, catchweight most often with four bouts.
