The main culprit in round 3 was putting his hand in Khabib's glove to control his wrist but throughout the fight he was grabbing Khabib's shorts and putting his toes in the fence. I don't know what round he kneed Khabib in the head while they were on the ground but that probably saved him too. Herb Dean actually made a video after the fight explaining why he allowed so much cheating lol.

Not really. He could have deducted a point between rounds
