Francisco Trinaldo vs Gleison Tibau

Gleison Tibau's 15-fight experience advantage (17 vs 2 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Gleison Tibau for the expected result. Had Francisco Trinaldo 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.

Gleison Tibau 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.

Francisco Trinaldo controlled the striking through superior volume (70 vs 96 total strikes), solid significant strike edge (45 vs 36), superior accuracy (46.4% vs 57.1%), 1 knockdown. However, since Francisco Trinaldo lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Gleison Tibau's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Gleison Tibau started a new win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Francisco Trinaldo is back at 0 with this loss.
