Desmond Green vs Rustam Khabilov

Rustam Khabilov's 8-fight experience advantage (10 vs 2 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Rustam Khabilov for the expected result. Had Desmond Green 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.

Rustam Khabilov 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.

Desmond Green controlled the striking through superior volume (53 vs 35 total strikes), significant strike advantage (47 vs 34), superior accuracy (42.3% vs 31.5%). However, since Desmond Green lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Rustam Khabilov's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Rustam Khabilov edged out Desmond Green on the ground with 3 vs 1 takedowns, 1:05 of control time, earning solid ground ELO bonuses.

Rustam Khabilov demonstrated standard activity with 266 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling. As the winner, Rustam Khabilov capitalized on this activity level, while Desmond Green's 147-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Rustam Khabilov continued building serious momentum with a 5-fight win streak, earning a strong bonus as streak bonuses escalate. Desmond Green's now at 0.

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