Hansen is only 22 y old and she got robbed in the McKenna fight or she would've been 2-2 and fought one in wrong division. I think you give her some more time, don't think UFC needs to rush to cut her.
She needs to make weight though.

It was close, But Aljamain just doing more in the first won him the round in the eyes of the judges, And that a valid opinion, If you think the 13 out value the 19, That arguably valid also, It was just close

Torres also got robbed with a split decision. Even though I benefited, there's no way Dern won round 3

After this people must understand that Petr Yan is not the genius of Fight IQ that they believed so much because if he were he would not have lost the third round that way and could also finish the fight at the end of the 4th round or in the middle of the 5th round, but Yan lacked more use of ground and pound and use the positions where Sterling was on his thing (which he would have achieved if he were really an IQ Genius).
I don't agree with the judges' scorecards, but if Yan had made the adjustments in the third round instead of it being a split decision, Yan probably would have won a unanimous decision (48-47, 49-46, 48-47). So just like the illegal knee, this loss was also Yan's own fault.

Torres lost because the judges are incompetent. Torres's round 3 was better than her round 1 and two judges gave round 3 to Dern

But I think that more than the number of judges, the problem is that the UFC always has the same judges (there are practically 3-5 commission judges who judge on almost 85% of the UFC cards during the year).
Judges like Adelaide Byrd, Chris Lee, Marco Rosales, Sal D'Amato, Derek Cleary. Almost always when they judge they get some controversial scorecard in one of the fights of the event. The UFC should penalize judges who make controversial decisions many times (and with little support). I'm not saying that they should be fined, they should simply be banned for a certain time or, if possible, no longer count on them for future events (just as the UFC has done with referees who do their job poorly).
