Josh Grispi vs Rani Yahya

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.

Rani Yahya earned an early finish with a Submission in round 1 at 3:15, gaining additional bonuses for the first-round submission.

Josh Grispi controlled the striking through superior accuracy (60.0% vs 33.3%). However, since Josh Grispi lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Rani Yahya's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Rani Yahya started a new win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Josh Grispi is back at 0 with this loss.

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