Jonathan Martinez vs Said Nurmagomedov

Jonathan Martinez's 4-fight experience advantage (12 vs 8 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Jonathan Martinez for the expected result. Had Said Nurmagomedov 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.

Jonathan Martinez 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.

Said Nurmagomedov controlled the striking through superior volume (101 vs 78 total strikes), solid significant strike edge (47 vs 38).
