Brett Johns vs Montel Jackson

Brett Johns's 2-fight experience advantage (7 vs 5 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Brett Johns for the expected result. Had Montel Jackson 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.

Brett Johns 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.

Montel Jackson controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (80 vs 30 total strikes), significant strike advantage (26 vs 11), 1 knockdown. However, since Montel Jackson lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Brett Johns's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Brett Johns controlled Montel Jackson on the ground with 8 vs 2 takedowns, 8:42 of control time, 1 ground strike, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Brett Johns demonstrated solid activity levels with 175 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling.

Brett Johns extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Montel Jackson is back at 0 with this loss.

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