James Llontop vs Mauricio Ruffy

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (3 fights each). On this fight, close to zero experience-based adjustments were applied.

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.

Mauricio Ruffy 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.

James Llontop controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (112 vs 74 total strikes), significant strike advantage (90 vs 67), superior accuracy (38.1% vs 59.3%). However, since James Llontop lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Mauricio Ruffy's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Mauricio Ruffy landed 1 knockdown followed by 7 ground strikes. Few ground strikes after a knockdown do not qualify for major ground ELO bonus.

Mauricio Ruffy demonstrated standard activity with 197 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling. As the winner, Mauricio Ruffy capitalized on this activity level, while James Llontop's 85-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Mauricio Ruffy extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. James Llontop is back at 0 with this loss.

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