What in the lack of combat sports knowledge did I just read. Yes, it's a controversial decision, bit you've got everything else wrong, or at best wildly misunderstood. Judges are not UFC employees, meaning a decision win wouldn't be fixed at the ufc level it would be a commission issue. Which is absurd to suggest with this small amount of "evidence." Takedowns don't win fights. Control time doesn't win fights. Read the rules, there was also that big judging discussion just recently that derails this thought.

You're not wrong, plus the distinct possibility of bias against Russian Yan by two of the judges...put it this way: if Jake Paul can pull off that obvious-to-boxing-fans work with Silva, what CAN'T billionaire Uncle Dana do to enrich the brand?

Yes not the first time Yan has lost a fight he actually won.
