Doesn't often happen though with that long of a control time which is what I meant when I say judges don't really follow the rules to the letter most of the time.

MMA guru got mad at commentary, fan and fighters for not scoring with the criteria with they’re fan scorecard, when the worst problem is judges don’t follow it a lot do the time, fix that problem

Certainly I think that judges can not use the excuse that it's difficult though if there's no advancement of positions on the ground and no effective striking. The thing is people will give them **** in that situation too because most casual viewers judge fights by "street rules" and are unaware of the scoring criteria, especially since commentators seem very sketchy at it themselves and will often contrast damage with control time as if those two factor in equally when they don't.
Remember how mad Dom got at Fitz when he said control doesn't matter? He was yelling at him "Who told you that!?" lmao
DC is often talking about "this guy did a lot of damage, he had him hurt but on the other hand this guy had a lot of control time so which way do you go?" and similar making it seem like he's completely unaware of the rules and think fights are judged holistically taking everything into account at once. Maybe it should be that way but the reason the rules were rewritten in 2017 to emphasize damage and effective grappling with the intent of finding a stoppage is that judges were just lazy/bad and awarded lay and pray wrestlers every time.
