I could be wrong but if you add up all the total fight time for the PPV Card it totals 20 mins and 56 seconds. All 5 fights being finished, none completing a 2nd round, I can't think of a more electric card that ended with the little amount of fight time as this. What a crazy night.


UPDATE
SHORTEST MAIN CARDS - UFC PPV History (5 fights)
19:10 - UFC 29
19:23 - UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar
20:56 - UFC 261: Usman vs. Masvidal 2
21:19 - UFC 55
21:50 - UFC 146: Dos Santos vs. Mir

Well UFC on twitter dropped official numbers I knew this was going to be close.. 3rd overall as shortest Main Zuffa PPV Main Cards

The 8 fights on UFC 1 were shorter in total fight time than the UFC 261 PPV. Not sure about other cards. UFC 1 was a PPV.

Wow crazy did you know this off memory or fast research?? I would think tonight's fight was the one of the shortest Zuffa UFC fight cards ever done.
 
I watched the event for free at a sports pub in Thailand, so I have no right to complain about all of the time between fights, and no doubt, it is like having a large book full of packaging materials and only a small toy inside.

This card was fun as hell. Not everything, but most. A welcome change to the decision fest norm. One of the most action-packed main cards ever. Combined with the joyful feeling all-around of having the crowd back marks this is as a memorable card.

Yes! Really enjoyed this card. Well, I didn’t like seeing the two leg injuries, especially Weidman’s but a good card on paper was even better to watch. And great to have crowds back.

@christopher interesting read, cheers.

Crazy! This card delivered. Been a long time since a card like this. But the Weidman and Crute injuries are super unfortunate. Wish them speedy and full recoveries.

Agreed.
Raucous crowd oblivious to COVID like Mr Just Bleed, Buffer playing to the crowd.
Great event.
Some crazy endings.
Better than 5 decision wins for sure!

The Fight's certainly were amazing.. UFC 251, UFC 259, UFC 261, All in recent memory had 3 title fights on 1 card.. when the UFC does that I still get shocked by a champion losing their belt but you almost expect it to happen to 1 fighter, and this was a lot more intense than the last time they did 3 Title Fights, where Aljamain DQ'd his way to a title. Watching Zhang go down like that I wasn't sure why the UFC made that title fight 2nd, but it makes complete sense now, the whole main card starting with Crute vs Smith, the level of intensity went higher and higher every singe fight. The Weidman's leg break was definitely the most shocking grotesque thing to happen all night but seeing that right before the title fights started just increased the intensity. Valentina fought a good fight but it had the lowest chance of a new champion being crowned and the UFC knew that.

The way Rose knocked out Zhang.. it was hard to think the Usman v Masvidal fight would top that, but it also delivered just an unbelievable set of fights
