Six of eight fights ended by KO/TKO — here is who delivered, who got upset, and what shifts across the divisions.
If you filled out a pick’em card for UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the scoring was fast and brutal: six of the eight results on the card ended by KO/TKO, and five of those came inside the opening round. Only one fight went the full distance. For anyone who bet on finishes in the app, this was your night — and if you leaned on late-round grappling, it was over before you settled in.
In the main event, Ryan Gandra (9-1-0) needed just 1:15 to stop Zach Reese (10-3-0) by KO/TKO in the first round of their middleweight bout. It was the quickest kind of statement, and it pushes Gandra’s record to a single blemish — exactly the sort of outcome that rewarded anyone who trusted the hot hand at 185 pounds.
Gandra was not the only 185er to close the show early. Damian Pinas (9-1-0) also finished inside round one, stopping Cesar Almeida (7-2-0) by KO/TKO at 4:44 — right at the edge of the horn. Two first-round middleweight knockouts on the same card is a loud signal about how deep the finishing power runs in this division right now, and both winners now carry matching 9-1 marks that will demand a step up in competition.
The biggest bracket-buster came at bantamweight. Mario Bautista (18-3-0) went the full three rounds with Cory Sandhagen (18-7-0) and took the decision at the 5:00 mark of round three. Sandhagen has long been one of the most respected names in the division, so seeing Bautista out-work him across a complete fight is the kind of result that reshapes the 135-pound picture — and likely stung a lot of prediction cards that treated Sandhagen as a safe pick.
The other bantamweight bout offered its own reversal of fortune: Adrian Yañez (18-6-1) knocked out former champion Cody Garbrandt (15-7-0) by KO/TKO at 2:47 of round one. Garbrandt’s name value made him a tempting pick, but Yañez’s power settled it early.
At light heavyweight, Robert Whittaker (27-9-0) stopped the veteran Nikita Krylov (31-11-0) by KO/TKO at 1:01 of round three. Krylov entered with one of the deepest records on the card, which makes a clean finish all the more notable and puts Whittaker’s name into the conversation at 205.
Undefeated runs held for Riley and Steveson, Whittaker made noise a division up, and Bautista handed Sandhagen a defeat that scrambles the bantamweight order. If your card survived a night this finish-heavy, you were reading the power right. Either way, the next event is already worth studying — lock in your predictions early on the app and see if you can call the next round of upsets before they happen.
