Andrei Arlovski's 33-fight experience advantage (37 vs 4 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Andrei Arlovski for the expected result. Had Jared Vanderaa 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.

Jared Vanderaa controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (102 vs 71 total strikes), solid significant strike edge (70 vs 64).
