Carlos Condit vs Johny Hendricks

Johny Hendricks's 3-fight experience advantage (11 vs 8 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Johny Hendricks for the expected result. Had Carlos Condit 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.

Johny Hendricks 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.

Carlos Condit controlled the striking through superior volume (94 vs 69 total strikes), significant strike advantage (42 vs 30), superior accuracy (29.0% vs 42.3%). However, since Carlos Condit lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Johny Hendricks's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Johny Hendricks controlled Carlos Condit on the ground with 12 vs 0 takedowns, 8:01 of control time, 5 ground strikes, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Johny Hendricks demonstrated solid activity levels with 119 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Johny Hendricks capitalized on this activity level, while Carlos Condit's 119-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Johny Hendricks continued building serious momentum with a 6-fight win streak, earning a strong bonus as streak bonuses escalate. Carlos Condit's now at 0.

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