Key takeaways
Michael Bisping beat Luke Rockhold by knockout at 3:36 of round one in the main event of UFC 199 at the Forum in Los Angeles. In the co-main event, Dominick Cruz beat Urijah Faber by unanimous decision after five rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, eight ended by knockout and four on the judges' scorecards — eight stoppages in twelve fights. One of the four decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Dustin Poirier, who stopped King Green at 2:53 of round one, and three of the eight finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Brian Ortega's knockout of Clay Guida, 14 minutes and 40 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: five of its seven results came early, against three of the five above it. Brian Ortega (knockout, round three), Beneil Dariush (knockout, round one) and Jessica Andrade (knockout, round two) all closed before the judges were needed.
Five ranked fighters appeared, among them champion Sean Strickland.
