You added in some stuff. Officially, there are only four corners to what the judges look at: EFFECTIVE striking, grappling, octagon control, and aggression. They show those four before each PPV, UFN, and Unleashed. Often, submission attempts will not have any affect on the judges decison. Takedowns fall under grappling. Clinching is not considered in judging, unless it leads to a takedown or effective striking. GnP is a grey area. Is it grappling? Is it effective striking? Is it aggression?
