You do need significant strikes if you want a finish or stronger decision than 50-45 though. Which is everybody's problem with the fight. Khamzat clearly won, but also clearly took zero chances and was perfectly happy riding things out for a safe win.
People have been trying to compare it to GSP, but GSP punched the cage he was so frustrated he hadn't yet stopped BJ (ironically right before BJ's corner threw in the towel)
People can tell what's a genuine effort and what's not.
I understand your frustration but disagree with your premise.
Dominating a fight doesn’t necessarily require significant strikes.
Fighters have plenty of other strategies they can use that don’t involve any kind of significant strike.
That’s just the reality.
