Curtis Blaydes vs Tom Aspinall

Curtis Blaydes's 10-fight experience advantage (16 vs 6 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Curtis Blaydes for the expected result. Had Tom Aspinall 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.

Curtis Blaydes achieved an EXPLOSIVE KO/TKO finish in just 0:15 of round 1! This lightning-fast destruction earned massive bonus multipliers for the exceptional finish.

Tom Aspinall controlled the striking through superior accuracy (60.0% vs 40.0%). However, since Tom Aspinall lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Curtis Blaydes's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Minimal ground action with brief exchanges. The low volume resulted in modest ground adjustments.

Curtis Blaydes demonstrated solid activity levels with 119 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Curtis Blaydes capitalized on this activity level, while Tom Aspinall's 126-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Curtis Blaydes extended his 3-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Tom Aspinall is back at 0 with this loss.

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