So the official card had cyborg winning:

49-46
48-47
48-47

That cards look like a remotely even fight....

For a reference: sherdog scored it 50-45, 50-45, 50-45

Do you detect any bias here?

How ON EARTH will ANYWONE EVER give Holm a round in that fight? It was an ugly one sided beatdown in all rounds. The only thing holy did is to try to hug Cyborg against the cage to stop getting beaten, with very little success and no damage done.

Why isn´t people talking about this ridiculous robbery?

If the fight had been remotely close, judges would SURELY give it to Holm.

Judges suck. This is beggining to look like boxing
 
Holly had more combos even if they didn't land and this could throw off the judging if they weren't paying enough attention.
 
I thought Holly won the second round. 49-46 in my book
 
Come on, I agree with you that the first rounds were robbed from Cyborg, but we saw plenty of worse robberies before.

I think nobody complained because Cyborg got her deserved victory in the end, so everything is good, but were it the case where she loses her belt due to that crappy scorecard it would be really fu**ed up, right?
 
I gave Holly the second round I think it was. The first I could see some judges maybe giving it to her. She did okay in the 5th towards the end a bit.

Could definitely see all rounds going to Cyborg though, apart from that 2nd.

I had her winning the first.

I basically used this fight to compare Cyborg and Ronda, seeing as when they first fought Holm, it's the first time they fought a GOOD defensive striker.

Once Holm was able to take Rondas main weapon, the clinch, away from her, Ronda panicked and didn't have an answer.

Cyborg however was far more patient, began to time Holms blitzes, and eventually found her range towards the end. I was super impressed with Cyborg. This fight basically showed that she's not just some overwhelming bruiser, when put up against a different challenge that she wasn't going to run through, she actually shows some great fight IQ.

Cyborgs a tough out at 145. It's truly a shame 145s so thin.
 
Hopefully the UFC will stop trying to make Holly a champ again.

Yes, I really like her but she is getting the Couture's treatment with these undeserved title shots. Not that much contenders tho, especially in the 145lbs.

It makes sense if you make it proper by inserting commas and such yourself. I believe you'd call it a hell of a run-on sentence if anything.
