Fernando Bruno vs Gray Maynard

Gray Maynard's 15-fight experience advantage (17 vs 2 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Gray Maynard for the expected result. Had Fernando Bruno 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.

Gray Maynard 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.

Fernando Bruno controlled the striking through superior accuracy (31.7% vs 42.3%). However, since Fernando Bruno lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Gray Maynard's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Gray Maynard controlled Fernando Bruno on the ground with 3 vs 2 takedowns, 6:41 of control time, 8 ground strikes, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Gray Maynard demonstrated extended layoff with 461 days since his last fight, earning reduced bonuses due to inactivity rust.

Gray Maynard started a new win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Fernando Bruno is back at 0 with this loss.

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