Couture-Sylvia was hugely advertised, and went all 25 minutes. I think Penn-GSP is going to go at least 20. Just depends on the fighters and their styles.
That's one fight though, how many hugely advertised fights haven't made it past the first round?

Soon you will be able to buy a GM product imported from China at a Wal Mart Super Center.

Really, not that many. Some ended fast, like the TUF finales, Lidell-Jackson and pretty much all of Anderson Silva's fights. Otherwise a lot of stuff has gone multiple rounds. Lidell-Silva, Couture-Lesnar, Mir-Nog, Pulver-Penn, Sherk-Penn, Neer-Diaz, Jackson-Griffin, Rua-Griffin, Hughes-GSP 1, 2, & 3, Hughes-Penn 1 & 2.

First round stoppage is an option in any full contact fight sport. Boxing for example.
