Sai Wang vs Zhang Lipeng

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (1 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.

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

Sai Wang controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (100 vs 37 total strikes), significant strike advantage (31 vs 10). However, since Sai Wang lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Zhang Lipeng's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Zhang Lipeng edged out Sai Wang on the ground with 4 vs 0 takedowns, 3:29 of control time, 1 ground strike, earning solid ground ELO bonuses.

Zhang Lipeng demonstrated incredible warrior mentality with a tournament-style turnaround with within null days since his last fight, earning one of the highest possible activity bonuses for the lightning-quick return. As the winner, Zhang Lipeng capitalized on this activity level, while Sai Wang's null-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Zhang Lipeng started a new win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Sai Wang is back at 0 with this loss.

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