What Happened

Sara McMann's 8-fight experience advantage (13 vs 5 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Sara McMann for the expected result. Had Karol Rosa pulled off the upset, her experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.

What Happened

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.
