Key takeaways
Glover Teixeira beat Thiago Santos by submission at 1:49 of round three in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. In the co-main event, Andrei Arlovski beat Tanner Boser by unanimous decision after three rounds.
Across the ten bouts that produced a result, three ended by knockout, four by submission and three on the judges' scorecards — seven stoppages in ten fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Gustavo Lopez, who stopped Anthony Birchak at 2:43 of round one, and three of the seven finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Darren Elkins's submission of Eduardo Garagorri, 12 minutes and 22 seconds in. End to end, the ten fights filled one hour and 44 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: five of its five results came early, against two of the five above it. Trevin Giles (knockout, round three), Alexandr Romanov (submission, round one) and Darren Elkins (submission, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
