Dong Hyun Kim vs Matt Brown

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (2 fights each). On this fight, close to zero experience-based adjustments were applied.

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.

The controversial Decision - Split reflected a closely contested battle, with Dong Hyun Kim receiving reduced bonuses due to the lack of clear domination.

Matt Brown controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (91 vs 18 total strikes), significant strike advantage (48 vs 12), superior accuracy (60.8% vs 42.9%). However, since Matt Brown lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Dong Hyun Kim's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Dong Hyun Kim edged out Matt Brown on the ground with 3 vs 1 takedowns, 5:04 of control time, 4 ground strikes, earning solid ground ELO bonuses.

Dong Hyun Kim extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Matt Brown is back at 0 with this loss.
