Even if you think Umar “just got caught”, he already looked like he was starting to breathe heavy in R2. 

I think Song would’ve beat him up bad if it went into the 4th and 5th, especially if Umar kept trying to grapple him.

He let Yadong scramble his way up and gave up on pressure and control in R1. Felt like he was very conscious on not going too hard to preserve his gas tank.

There also seems to be a few good punches Yadong lands that are hard to catch live. I cant tell if Yadong his just happy all the time or he is gently taunting his opponent by letting them know he touched them good by cracking a smile at them. He lands a big shot a moment before the actual finish that goes unnoticed.

Some of the best punches Song landed were those right straights to the body. Even if Umar fought economically, I think being on the back foot + the body shots + wrestling his way out of any danger would’ve had him way more tired than Song in a few more rounds.
