Kelvin Gastelum vs Neil Magny

Neil Magny's 5-fight experience advantage (13 vs 8 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Neil Magny for the expected result. Had Kelvin Gastelum 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.

The controversial Decision - Split reflected a closely contested battle, with Neil Magny receiving reduced bonuses due to the lack of clear domination.

Kelvin Gastelum controlled the striking through 2 knockdowns. However, since Kelvin Gastelum lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Neil Magny's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Neil Magny controlled Kelvin Gastelum on the ground with 6 vs 2 takedowns, 5:34 of control time, 4 ground strikes, earning substantial ground ELO bonuses.

Neil Magny demonstrated solid activity levels with 91 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling. As the winner, Neil Magny capitalized on this activity level, while Kelvin Gastelum's 162-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Neil Magny extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Kelvin Gastelum is back at 0 with this loss.

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