Ben Askren vs Jorge Masvidal

Jorge Masvidal's 15-fight experience advantage (17 vs 2 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Jorge Masvidal for the expected result. Had Ben Askren 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.

Jorge Masvidal achieved an EXPLOSIVE KO/TKO finish in just 0:05 of round 1! This lightning-fast destruction earned massive bonus multipliers for the exceptional finish.

Minimal ground action with brief exchanges. The low volume resulted in modest ground adjustments.

Jorge Masvidal demonstrated solid activity levels with 112 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Jorge Masvidal capitalized on this activity level, while Ben Askren's 126-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Jorge Masvidal extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Ben Askren is back at 0 with this loss.

This category provides the foundation ELO scoring without bonuses, except for exceptional multiple division champions.
