Caio Borralho vs Reinier de Ridder

Caio Borralho's 3-fight experience advantage (9 vs 6 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Caio Borralho for the expected result. Had Reinier de Ridder 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.

Caio Borralho 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.

Reinier de Ridder controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (111 vs 71 total strikes), superior accuracy (39.0% vs 58.2%).
