Felipe dos Santos vs Manel Kape

Manel Kape's 5-fight experience advantage (6 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Manel Kape for the expected result. Had Felipe dos Santos 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.

Manel Kape landed 1 knockdown followed by 14 ground strikes. Few ground strikes after a knockdown do not qualify for major ground ELO bonus.

Manel Kape demonstrated standard activity with 266 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling. As the winner, Manel Kape capitalized on this activity level, while Felipe dos Santos's null-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.
