Key takeaways
Cain Velasquez beat Junior Dos Santos by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 155 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Jim Miller beat Joe Lauzon after three rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, three ended by knockout, one by submission and eight on the judges' scorecards — four stoppages in twelve fights. Three of the eight decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Todd Duffee, who stopped Philip De Fries at 2:04 of round one, and two of the four finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Constantinos Philippou's knockout of Tim Boetsch, 12 minutes and 11 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 39 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: three of its seven results came early, against one of the five above it. Erik Perez (knockout, round one), Todd Duffee (knockout, round one) and John Moraga (submission, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
One ranked fighters appeared. The only other ranked name was Max Holloway, No. 4 at lightweight.
