ELI5: Are UFC fighters encouraged to drags fight out in a title match or on PPV? Do the fighters or the league lose money when the "12 second" fight happens in a highly anticipated match up or event?

No and No...  this is the reason they use a Pay per View funding format over a commercialized feed... They have no control over the timeline of bouts, be they 14 seconds or 25 minutes.

As UFC is actual, unscripted fighting, and the prize money for the winners is significantly larger than for the loser (not even counting sponsor opportunities/support), there is no way any fighter wouldn't be going for the fastest win they can accomplish vs. the opponent they face.
