Key takeaways
Edson Barboza beat Sodiq Yusuff by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Viviane Araujo beat Jennifer Maia after three rounds at women's flyweight.
Across the eleven bouts that produced a result, three ended by knockout, one by submission and seven on the judges' scorecards — four stoppages in eleven fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Terrance McKinney, who stopped Brendon Marotte after 20 seconds, and two of the four finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Darren Elkins's submission of TJ Brown, 12 minutes and 23 seconds in. End to end, the eleven fights filled two hours and 16 minutes of cage time.
The main card finished at the higher rate: two of five, against two of the six below it. Darren Elkins (submission, round three) and Terrance McKinney (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Seven weight classes were used, bantamweight most often with three bouts. ESPN+ carried all eleven bouts, split across a main card and one preliminary block.
