UFC Vegas 116 matched the promotion's record for most fights going to the judges' scorecards with eleven decisions. This equaled the mark previously set at UFC 263, which was headlined by Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori. The event featured only two finishes: a submission by Jackson McVay and a knockout by Ryan Spann. The high number of decisions made for a card that many viewers found less exciting than expected. Despite the lack of stoppages, the event still delivered competitive action across multiple weight classes.
