Beneil Dariush vs Diego Ferreira

Beneil Dariush's 8-fight experience advantage (19 vs 11 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Beneil Dariush for the expected result. Had Diego Ferreira 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 Beneil Dariush receiving reduced bonuses due to the lack of clear domination.
