Key takeaways
Donald Cerrone beat Al Iaquinta by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Derek Brunson beat Elias Theodorou after three rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, two ended by knockout, one by submission and nine on the judges' scorecards — three stoppages in twelve fights. One of the nine decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Walt Harris, who stopped Serghei Spivac after 50 seconds, and one of the three finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Matt Sayles's submission of Kyle Nelson, 13 minutes and 16 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 46 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: two of its six results came early, against one of the six above it. Macy Chiasson (knockout, round two) and Matt Sayles (submission, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
