Caol Uno vs Din Thomas

Caol Uno's 2-fight experience advantage (5 vs 3 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Caol Uno for the expected result. Had Din Thomas 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.

Caol Uno 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.

Caol Uno controlled the striking exchanges with 85 vs 59 total strikes, 35 vs 11 significant strikes, 62.5% vs 45.8% accuracy. Caol Uno capitalized on this striking dominance.

Caol Uno controlled Din Thomas on the ground with 0 takedowns, 9:13 of control time, 23 ground strikes, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Caol Uno demonstrated solid activity levels with 140 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Caol Uno capitalized on this activity level, while Din Thomas's 364-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Caol Uno extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Din Thomas is back at 0 with this loss.

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