This type of fight happens every other card
UFC has to step in and make it some type of demerit for failed takedowns otherwise dudes can go for them over and over again, fail, and then cite that as control time. Its really lame but thats how shyt is scored and I'm not even one of those grappling equals bad nikkas but the absolute floor of this type of strategy should be Merab as yeah he aint doing a ton of damage but he is looking to at the least.
Actual control in grappling is maintaining and advancing advantageous position. Burying your face in another dude's crotch
