About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The UFC returned to Canada on Saturday, and while it started out as a pretty rough night for local fighters, fans in Edmonton got a sickening amount of finishes to make up for it.
UFC Fight Night 291 at Rogers Place tied UFC Belgrade from August with a record 12 stoppages. At Belgrade, those dozen finishes came in 14 fights. But at UFC Edmonton, only one of the 13 bouts – the co-main event – went the distance.
Where UFC Fight Night 283 in Serbia has the advantage is in its record number of first-round finishes. An insane 10 of the 12 stoppages were first-rounders, which led to the lowest amount of fight time in modern UFC history for a card with double digit fights. At UFC Edmonton, only five of the 12 finishes came in the opening frame.
