Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, six ended by knockout, one by submission and five on the judges' scorecards — seven stoppages in twelve fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Ryan Spann, who stopped Rogerio Nogueira at 2:07 of round one, and two of the seven finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Warlley Alves's knockout of Sergio Moraes, 14 minutes and 13 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 18 minutes of cage time.
The main card finished at the higher rate: three of five, against four of the seven below it. Ryan Spann (knockout, round one), Warlley Alves (knockout, round three) and Raoni Barcelos (knockout, round two) all closed before the judges were needed.
