Shamil Gaziev vs Thomas Petersen

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (4 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.

Shamil Gaziev earned an early finish with a KO/TKO in round 1 at 3:12, gaining additional bonuses for the first-round stoppage.

Thomas Petersen controlled the striking through solid significant strike edge (19 vs 14), superior accuracy (55.9% vs 43.8%). However, since Thomas Petersen lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Shamil Gaziev's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Minimal ground action with brief exchanges. The low volume resulted in modest ground adjustments.

Shamil Gaziev demonstrated standard activity with 183 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling. As the winner, Shamil Gaziev capitalized on this activity level, while Thomas Petersen's 197-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Shamil Gaziev extended his 2-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Thomas Petersen is back at 0 with this loss.

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