Caio Machado vs Mick Parkin

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (1 fights each). On this fight, close to zero experience-based adjustments were applied.

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.

Mick Parkin 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.

Caio Machado controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (103 vs 69 total strikes), significant strike advantage (76 vs 39), superior accuracy (57.6% vs 39.8%). However, since Caio Machado lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Mick Parkin's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Mick Parkin controlled Caio Machado on the ground with 3 vs 0 takedowns, 6:23 of control time, 2 ground strikes, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Mick Parkin demonstrated solid activity levels with 120 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Mick Parkin capitalized on this activity level, while Caio Machado's null-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Mick Parkin extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Caio Machado is back at 0 with this loss.

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