The key here is Round 4. Gus dominated that round clearly with better striking until that spinning elbow rocked him badly. So the correct score for this round was 10-10. The damage done by Jones' elbow negated Gus' striking dominance up until that point.
Gus was saved by the bell and would've been TKO'd if round 4 had continued and he wasn't the same in round 5. He seemed fresher than Jones in Round 4 but the elbow really hurt him.
The judges scored too many of Jones head kick attempts in Jones' favour. Gus blocked the majority of them with his arm.
If "Octagon control" was the only criterion for the fight then you've got to hand it to Gus. He dictated the pace and he was pushing forward more than Jones.
