Gleison Tibau vs Norman Parke

Gleison Tibau's 18-fight experience advantage (24 vs 6 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Gleison Tibau for the expected result. Had Norman Parke 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 Gleison Tibau receiving reduced bonuses due to the lack of clear domination.

Norman Parke controlled the striking through solid significant strike edge (43 vs 38). However, since Norman Parke 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 edged out Norman Parke on the ground with 2 vs 0 takedowns, 2:00 of control time, earning solid ground ELO bonuses.

Gleison Tibau demonstrated solid activity levels with 128 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Gleison Tibau capitalized on this activity level, while Norman Parke's 184-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Gleison Tibau extended his 3-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Norman Parke is back at 0 with this loss.

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