UFC Vegas 116 matched the promotional record for most fights going to the judges' scorecards on a single event, with 11 bouts reaching decision. The previous record was set at UFC 263, which was headlined by Israel Adesanya versus Marvin Vettori. Only two finishes occurred on the entire card: a submission by McVeigh and a knockout by Spann. The high number of decisions made for a notably less exciting event from an action standpoint.
