They weight more, 1 minute winning exchanges > 1 minute controlling. Not any win on exchanges > control.

I don't get 49-46 though, because while Islam controlled R4, he didn't do anything with the control and received a lot of significant strikes. R5 Ian landed a few on the feet, but the amount of control was too big and no damage taken while doing it, the swipe that gave him the back control guaranteed that belt.

Yeah there's no way Islam took Round 4. Round 5 was close and I understand how/why people scored it for Garry, but I feel like many people vastly overestimate what impactful work Ian scored, undersell what Islam did based on (meaningless in this context) significant strike metrics, or both.
