UFC Vegas 116 matched the UFC record for the most fights going to judges' decisions on a single card, with eleven bouts reaching the scorecards. This tied the previous record set at UFC 263, which was headlined by Israel Adesanya versus Marvin Vettori. Only two fights on the UFC Vegas 116 card ended early: a submission by McVay and a knockout by Spann. The high number of decisions made for a notable statistical milestone in the promotion's history.
