I downloaded the fight but haven't yet had time to watch it but every single thing I read has it being a Shogun win.

I think the idea that you have to beat the champ decisively is fucking stupid. When the title is on the line once that bell rings neither fighter is the champion. The scoring should be non bias and should only be based around what happens in the ring or cage not about a symbol and title one fighter may have been rewarded for due to winning a previous fight. I think that idea is something kinda carried over from the days of boxing when fights may have been more evenly scored. Like many things with boxing though it's another that doesn't belong in the modern day sport of mma.
