Andre Lima vs Felipe dos Santos

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (3 fights each). On this fight, close to zero experience-based adjustments were applied.

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.

Andre Lima earned a clear Decision - Unanimous, receiving full decision bonuses for controlling the fight across all rounds. Of course, a finish would have yielded even greater rewards.

Felipe dos Santos controlled the striking through superior volume (69 vs 43 total strikes), significant strike advantage (38 vs 18).
