I dislike JBJ, but there was no controversy.
There's a lot of people that think Gustafsson won, so there was controversy. Your personal opinion doesn't matter in that regard.

The only controversy tends to be from people who want to see Jones lose.
Naw, I've already read countless Jones won arguments very similar to yours. I still have Gus winning 48-47 but, have no issues with 48-47 Jones. The people who say Jones won 49-46 or 50-45 seriously need to get their eyes examined.
I agree. It's funny. Now that the rematch has been booked, I see those exact people picking Jones to win the rematch.

Yes. That is indeed Jones's knee flying up in the air to make contact with the upper portion of Gus's body.

Can you point out those people and show us where they said they wanted Jones to lose and where they said there are picking him in the rematch?
Said "controversy" only occurred because of the fact that there is so much hate for Jones. Clouds judgement quite easily.

Pretty much every media member scored the fight for Jones:

This is correct. I had Gus (and I wasn't listening to sound so let's squash that now). I felt Jones did well, but I didn't see him winning. When a fight is that close I look at "who would I rather be at the end of the fight but before the decision is announced."....... I'd have rather been Gus.
The unified rules specify cage control (aka ring generalship), effective defense, effective grappling and effective aggression under 14 C, D, F, G, H and I.
-----------
C. Judges shall evaluate mixed martial arts techniques, such as effective striking, effective grappling, control of the ring/fighting area, effective aggressiveness and defense.
D. Evaluations shall be made in the order in which the techniques appear in (c) above, giving the most weight in scoring to effective striking, effective grappling, control of the fighting area and effective aggressiveness and defense.
F. Effective grappling is judged by considering the amount of successful executions of a legal takedown and reversals. Examples of factors to consider are take downs from standing position to mount position, passing the guard to mount position, and bottom position fighters using an active threatening guard.
G. Fighting area control is judged by determining who is dictating the pace, location and position of the bout. Examples of factors to consider are countering a grappler's attempt at takedown by remaining standing and legally striking, taking down an opponent to force a ground fight, creating threatening submission attempts, passing the guard to achieve mount, and creating striking opportunities.
H. Effective aggressiveness means moving forward and landing a legal strike.
I. Effective defense means avoiding being struck, taken down or reversed while countering with offensive attacks

By this logic all punches that hit shoulders are significant strikes.
You know the only difference between us and them is that they have a website? If I remember correctly, the polls on this forum were skewed towards Gustafsson. But that doesn't support your argument so let's ignore it.

I scored it 4-1 Jones and was kinda surprised some people thought Gus won and still think he did.
Oblivious to the fact that this forum almost universally blatantly hates Jones.
No. But I will provide you reading material:
Majority of people saying Gus won: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2/who-do-you-think-won-jon-jones-vs-alexander-gustafsson-2564389/
Majority of people picking Jones to win in the rematch: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2...-gustafsson-ii-set-ufc-178-sept-27-a-2756227/
I'll leave the cross matching to you. I'm sure you know how to read.
I think a flying knee landing is much more significant then a trip (which by the way, Jones looked to have blocked).
