Kody Steele vs Rongzhu

Rongzhu's 4-fight experience advantage (5 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Rongzhu for the expected result. Had Kody Steele 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.

Rongzhu 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.

Rongzhu demonstrated solid activity levels with 155 days since his last fight, earning a moderate activity bonus for consistent scheduling.
