I see a lot of people saying he doesn't have good striking or he was outstruck by this or that guy and I wonder if this not ignorance bias due Yoel being a good wrestler.
Looking at the fight as a whole and not by the rounds, Yoel has outstruck each of his ufc opponents.
Popular examples are Kennedy and Brunson, so let's see how Yoel performed:
Kennedy got outstruck for the most part of the fight. Has his 10 second flurry but I suppose it is negated by the fact that Yoel then destroyed him.
Brunson outstruck Yoel in the first, but he didn't have any big moments to definitely say he was outskilling Yoel, then in the second the stand up was even, and 3rd is when Yoel dominated Brunson with his striking.
Weidman never landed anything significant too, it even seemed that Yoel was the one landing better side kicks and stronger punches.
