Alessio Sakara vs Thales Leites

Alessio Sakara's 2-fight experience advantage (10 vs 8 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Alessio Sakara for the expected result. Had Thales Leites pulled off the upset, his experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.

This was not a title fight, so both fighters received standard ELO adjustments. However, since ELO is a relative system, victories over former champions can have an indirect impact, and Title Fight ELO can differ from Basic ELO.

The controversial Decision - Split reflected a closely contested battle, with Alessio Sakara receiving reduced bonuses due to the lack of clear domination.

The striking was extremely close with minimal separation between fighters. However, since Thales Leites lost the overall fight, any slight striking edge couldn't be converted into ELO gains. Alessio Sakara's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Alessio Sakara did not secure a significant ground advantage against Thales Leites on the ground with 0 takedowns, 0:33 of control time, 2 ground strikes, with almost no grappling bonus.
