Beneil Dariush vs Edson Barboza

Edson Barboza's 6-fight experience advantage (17 vs 11 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Edson Barboza for the expected result. Had Beneil Dariush 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.

Edson Barboza gained a finish with a KO/TKO in round 2, earning finishing bonuses.

Beneil Dariush controlled the striking through superior volume (51 vs 31 total strikes), significant strike advantage (51 vs 30). However, since Beneil Dariush lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Edson Barboza's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

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

Edson Barboza demonstrated standard activity with 232 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling. As the winner, Edson Barboza capitalized on this activity level, while Beneil Dariush's 126-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Edson Barboza extended his 3-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Beneil Dariush is back at 0 with this loss.

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