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

Serhiy Sidey controlled the striking through superior volume (81 vs 62 total strikes), significant strike advantage (79 vs 62). However, since Serhiy Sidey lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses.
