Edson Barboza's 21-fight experience advantage (29 vs 8 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Edson Barboza for the expected result. Had Sodiq Yusuff 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.

Sodiq Yusuff controlled the striking through superior volume (206 vs 178 total strikes), significant strike advantage (178 vs 164), 1 knockdown.
