Key takeaways
Renan Barao beat Urijah Faber by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 149 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Tim Boetsch beat Hector Lombard after three rounds.
Across the nine bouts that produced a result, two ended by knockout, one by submission and six on the judges' scorecards — three stoppages in nine fights. Three of the six decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Ryan Jimmo, who stopped Anthony Perosh after 7 seconds, and two of the three finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Bryan Caraway's submission of Mitch Gagnon, 11 minutes and 39 seconds in. End to end, the nine fights filled one hour and 53 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: three of its five results came early, against no of the four above it. Ryan Jimmo (knockout, round one), Bryan Caraway (submission, round three) and Antonio Carvalho (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
