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.
