1. Analyzed Fight: Morgan Charriere vs. Gabriel Miranda

• Winner : Morgan Charriere
• Method of Victory : KO/TKO (1.2 bonus points)
• Category : Featherweight
• Performance of the Night : Yes (1.3 bonus points)

• If Morgan has fought recently, his score is adjusted with the expiration coefficient to reflect his recent inactivity or activity. Since his fights took place within the last two years, the expiration coefficient is 1, which does not affect the scores obtained.
• Ex.: Morgan's previous score in the Featherweight category = 0.037. Expiration of the score (based on seniority) = 1. Adjusted score before the fight: 0.06 × 1 = 0.037.

• If Morgan wins several consecutive fights, he receives a victory boost. Here: 0 consecutive victories → Boost: 1 + (0 × 0.005) = 1.
• He receives 50% of the average points of the category: 0.021.
• He receives 50% of his opponent's points x the finishing method coefficient and x the bonuses: (0.0219 × 1.2 + 0.021) × 1.3 = 0.0614.
• Score of Morgan Charrière after the fight: 0.037 + 0.0614 = 0.0984.
