Kyoji Horiguchi vs Manel Kape

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (11 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.

Manel Kape gained a finish with a KO/TKO in round 3, earning finishing bonuses.

Kyoji Horiguchi controlled the striking through solid significant strike edge (27 vs 19), superior accuracy (50.9% vs 33.9%).

Manel Kape's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Manel Kape did not secure a significant ground advantage against Kyoji Horiguchi on the ground with 0 takedowns, with almost no grappling bonus.

As the winner, Manel Kape capitalized on this activity level, while Kyoji Horiguchi's 133-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Manel Kape extended his 4-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Kyoji Horiguchi is back at 0 with this loss.

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