What's the most dominant round by a fighter ever? ( No KO/ Subs )

I was just watching a video of Topuria progessively put on a beating on Emmet and saw the score cards for the fight were:

Judge R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 Total
Eric Colón 9-10 Emmett 10-9 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 10-8 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 49-45 Topuria
Sal D’Amato 10-9 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 10-8 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 50-44 Topuria
Chris Lee 10-9 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 10-8 Topuria 10-7 Topuria 10-9 Topuria 50-42 Topuria

Emmet is a beast, don't get me wrong, but Topuria outclassed him beyond convincingly with 10-7 R4 being the most crushing round, it got me wondering what was the most imbalanced round where a fighter completely dominated the opponent on the score cards without taking them out?

I did some searching and found Steven Nguyen vs. Mohammad Yahya, Round 1, Nguyen dropped Yahya 5 times in the round which is kinda crazy in the UFC, but this was only scored 10-8 I believe, with the following stats:

Stat Steven Nguyen Mohammad Yahya
Knockdowns 5 0
Significant strikes 59 of 112 33 of 86
Sig. strike accuracy 52% 38%
Head sig. strikes 47 of 98 22 of 69
Body sig. strikes 2 of 2 9 of 13
Leg sig. strikes 10 of 12 2 of 4

I guess, my question is, was there ever a 10-5 round or, visually, a round where 1 fighter absolutely crushed the other technically? I am open to seeing grappling domination as well.
