Clay Guida vs Samy Schiavo

Clay Guida's 5-fight experience advantage (6 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Clay Guida for the expected result. Had Samy Schiavo pulled off the upset, his experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.
