Key takeaways
Junior Dos Santos beat Shane Carwin by unanimous decision after three rounds in the main event of UFC 131 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Kenny Florian beat Diego Nunes after three rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, three ended by knockout, two by submission and seven on the judges' scorecards — five stoppages in twelve fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Sam Stout, who stopped Yves Edwards at 3:52 of round one, and two of the five finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Nick Ring's submission of James Head, 13 minutes and 33 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 27 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: four of its seven results came early, against one of the five above it. Sam Stout (knockout, round one), Chris Weidman (submission, round one) and Nick Ring (submission, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
