The ref didn't cost Andrade the fight.

When Bute was knocked down there were 3 seconds left on the clock!

All he had to do was get up within 10 seconds and he wins.

Count the amount of time he's on the floor. He gets to his feet on the count of 9 and by that I mean from the time he actually hits the floor, NOT the time from when the ref starts the count.

He survived the fight, barely and keeps his title. He would have won regardless of a long count or not becuase there was no time left in the fight.

I'm amazed people are still talking as if the ref cost Andrade a win becuase now we have all the facts and can analyse it without the emotion surrounding the immediate aftermath of the fight it's clear that Bute would have won anyway.

The only way Adrade wins is if the ref counts Bute out and given the fact that there was NO time left in the fight that would have been a fucking tragedy.
