Picks up win after weight miss
BantamweightUFC
March 16, 2024
Chandler defeated Josiane Nunes via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Chandler becomes the second fighter this evening to pick up a victory despite missing weight the day prior. Chelsea only missed by a pound, but was forced to forfeit 20 percent of her purse to Nunes in the process. Chandler is from Stockton, California, home of the Diaz brothers, and fights a lot like Nick and Nate. She's big and strong for the division and tries to overwhelm her opponent with physicality. For a good portion of this fight, it worked, although no one would have batted an eye if Nunes earned this decision. A long-time member of the Invicta roster, Chandler has alternated wins and losses in her first three UFC bouts.

Next fight scheduled
BantamweightUFC
January 23, 2024
Chandler is scheduled to compete against Josiane Nunes in a bantamweight fight at the UFC's Vegas event on March 16, per Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Chandler will look to get back on track in 2024. She began and ended her 2022 with a TKO to Julija Stoliarenko. However, Chandler lost her lone 2023 fight against Norma Dumont. While Nunes has not fought since 2022, she provides a bevy of winning and cage experience Chandler has not matched just yet.
Suffers first UFC defeat
BantamweightUFC
July 15, 2023
Chandler lost to Norma Dumont via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC on ESPN 49 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A five-fight veteran of Invicta, Chandler made her UFC debut this past October and knocked out Julija Stoliarenko in just over four minutes. She found life much more difficult here against a better opponent in Dumont. Chandler got blitzed with a combination right off the hop and actually turned and ran away to the opposite corner of the Octagon in order to remain upright. It looked ridiculous in real time, but it may have very well kept her in the fight. Chandler landed a couple big shots the rest of the way, but Dumont was able to drag her to the mat whenever the former seemed to be regaining some momentum. 29 years of age and with all of seven pro fights under her belt, Chandler's upside is extremely limited.
Fighting Norma Dumont
BantamweightUFC
April 28, 2023
Chandler agreed to face Norma Dumont at UFC's July 15 event, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Chandler made her UFC debut in October and defeated Julija Stoliarenko via TKO in 45 seconds, and her expected fight with Danyelle Wolf on Saturday was apparently never finalized. It'll be a much tougher matchup come July, as Dumont is coming off a win over Karol Rosa and has won five of her past six bouts.
Set for next bout

January 28, 2023
Chandler is scheduled to fight Danyelle Wolf on April 29, Meni Mayer of MMA Island reports.
ANALYSIS
The matchup will feature two UFC newcomers, as Chandler made her debut in October of 2022. She delivered a victory against Julija Stoliarenko in the first round via knockout. Wolf debuted in the UFC in September of 2022 but lost by unanimous decision.
Stellar effort in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
October 1, 2022
Chandler defeated Julija Stoliarenko via TKO (punches) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The level of competition she was facing must be taken into consideration, but Chandler couldn't have looked much better in her company debut. In a fight in which she entered as a very slight (+105) underdog, Chandler overwhelmed Stoliarenko before moving to mount and raining down shots which forced referee Jacob Montalvo to step in. A native of Stockton, California and friendly with the famed Diaz brothers, Chandler, who will turn 29 years of age this coming January, is a fighter to keep an eye on as we push towards the latter stages of 2022 and into 2023.
