Key takeaways
Rafael Dos Anjos beat Anthony Pettis by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 185 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. In the co-main event, Joanna Jedrzejczyk beat Carla Esparza by knockout at 4:17 of round two.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, seven ended by knockout, one by submission and four on the judges' scorecards — eight stoppages in twelve fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Joe Duffy, who stopped Jake Lindsey at 1:47 of round one, and one of the eight finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Jared Rosholt's knockout of Josh Copeland, 13 minutes and 12 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 11 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: seven of its seven results came early, against one of the five above it. Ross Pearson (knockout, round two), Elias Theodorou (knockout, round two) and Beneil Dariush (submission, round two) all closed before the judges were needed.
One ranked fighters appeared. The only other ranked name was Beneil Dariush, No. 14 at lightweight.
