Cody East vs Walt Harris

Walt Harris's 3-fight experience advantage (4 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Walt Harris for the expected result. Had Cody East pulled off the upset, his experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.
