Glover Teixeira vs Misha Cirkunov

Glover Teixeira's 8-fight experience advantage (14 vs 6 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Glover Teixeira for the expected result. Had Misha Cirkunov 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.

Glover Teixeira earned an early finish with a KO/TKO in round 1 at 2:45, gaining additional bonuses for the first-round stoppage.

Misha Cirkunov controlled the striking through solid significant strike edge (21 vs 13), superior accuracy (48.8% vs 61.9%). However, since Misha Cirkunov lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Glover Teixeira's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Glover Teixeira controlled Misha Cirkunov on the ground with 1 vs 0 takedowns, 0:44 of control time, 11 ground strikes, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Glover Teixeira demonstrated standard activity with 203 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling.

Glover Teixeira started a new win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Misha Cirkunov is back at 0 with this loss.

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