Frankie Saenz vs Merab Dvalishvili

Frankie Saenz's 6-fight experience advantage (7 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Frankie Saenz for the expected result. Had Merab Dvalishvili 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.

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

Merab Dvalishvili controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (104 vs 66 total strikes), significant strike advantage (47 vs 58), superior accuracy (39.8% vs 54.7%). However, since Merab Dvalishvili lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Frankie Saenz's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.
