Chelsea Chandler

Chelsea Chandler, a 34-year-old American southpaw fighting out of the 135-pound division, holds a 6-4-0 professional record with recent mixed results across five fights. Chandler operates as a volume striker averaging 3.55 strikes landed per minute with 45% striking accuracy, though her defensive metrics reveal vulnerability—she absorbs 4.44 strikes per minute while maintaining only 40% strike defense.

Her grappling profile shows modest takedown activity at 0.87 attempts per 15 minutes with 60% accuracy, but a concerning 28% takedown defense suggests opponents can impose their wrestling. Notably, Chandler carries a respectable 8.2 knockout score, evidenced by her first-round TKO finish of Julija Stoliarenko in October 2022.

However, her recent trajectory has declined: after a unanimous decision victory over Josiane Nunes in March 2024, she suffered consecutive losses to Yana Santos (decision) and most recently Joselyne Edwards via first-round knockout in April 2025. The Edwards loss, occurring just 2:31 into round one, underscores durability concerns that plague her defensive profile.

Chandler needs a decisive performance against ranked competition to reverse her current downward momentum in a crowded featherweight division.
