Kai Kamaka vs Tony Kelley

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (1 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.

Kai Kamaka 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.

Tony Kelley controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (185 vs 138 total strikes), superior accuracy (50.4% vs 61.6%). However, since Tony Kelley lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Kai Kamaka's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Kai Kamaka dominated Tony Kelley on the ground with 5 vs 0 takedowns, 5:09 of control time, 2 ground strikes, earning massive ground ELO bonuses.

Kai Kamaka demonstrated incredible warrior mentality with a tournament-style turnaround with within null days since his last fight, earning one of the highest possible activity bonuses for the lightning-quick return. As the winner, Kai Kamaka capitalized on this activity level, while Tony Kelley's null-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Kai Kamaka started a new win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Tony Kelley is back at 0 with this loss.

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