Key takeaways
Michael Bisping beat Dan Henderson by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 204 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester. In the co-main event, Gegard Mousasi beat Vitor Belfort by knockout at 2:43 of round two.
Across the eleven bouts that produced a result, four ended by knockout, five by submission and two on the judges' scorecards — nine stoppages in eleven fights. One of the two decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Iuri Alcantara, who stopped Brad Pickett at 1:59 of round one, and two of the nine finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Mike Perry's knockout of Danny Roberts, 14 minutes and 40 seconds in. End to end, the eleven fights filled one hour and 59 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: five of its six results came early, against four of the five above it. Iuri Alcantara (submission, round one), Damian Stasiak (submission, round three) and Leon Edwards (submission, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
One ranked fighters appeared. The only other ranked name was Leon Edwards, No. 8 at welterweight.
