Cyborg defeated Holm by unanimous decision to retain her UFC Featherweight Championship. Holm entered the fifth round with her left eye almost completely swollen shut. Holm threw head kick-punch combos, but couldn't land anything substantial. Cyborg picked apart Holm, evading strikes and landing at will. Holm landed a nasty strike that seemed to have Cyborg hurt late, but couldn't finish her.

The challenger's manager, Lenny Fresquez, confirmed to ESPN that his fighter went to the hospital and received X-rays on her head and arm after the fight and was "pretty sore" the following morning, but added that "she's fine" and "resting in [Las] Vegas."

Per Holly Holm's manager Lenny Fresquez, Holm went to hospital last night and received X-rays on head and arm. "Pretty sore this morning, but she's fine. So much heart." She's resting in Vegas today.
