Mason Jones vs Mike Davis

Mike Davis's 2-fight experience advantage (3 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Mike Davis for the expected result. Had Mason Jones 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.

Mike Davis 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.

Mason Jones controlled the striking through superior volume (132 vs 111 total strikes), solid significant strike edge (117 vs 108), superior accuracy (37.4% vs 52.2%).

Mike Davis's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.
