During JAXXON PODCAST's UFC 307 recap, former bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw weighed in on the result of Bautista vs. Aldo. Dillashaw mentioned that although some believed the former featherweight champion should've got his hand raised, he didn't make a strong enough argument with his performance:
"It surprises me...there's techniques like this that [Aldo] doesn't like, get off the cage...The loss for him, like with the fight cards, they thought Aldo should've won. I don't know. He kept himself here, like, I'm not too mad. He lost the fight himself."

How did Dana White react to Mario Bautista's win over Jose Aldo at UFC 307?
Dana White echoed the sentiments of many in the MMA community as he blasted the judging for UFC 307 as a whole including the officiating for Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista.
During his post-event press conference, White mentioned that there was no indication that Bautista was trying to engage with Aldo and believed that his clinching basically wasted time:
"I always think that the referee should be more active on that, 100%. Especially when somebody keeps [attempting takedowns and clinching] to stall...If you're judging on a guy whether it's in control, if it's this or that, if you're not trying to fight, how do you win the fight? And if you're looking at attempted takedowns, what about stuffing the takedowns?" [6:13 - 6:41]
