Loses after weight miss
Chandler lost to Yana Santos via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The events of the past 36 hours could easily result in Chandler being handed her walking papers. First, she missed weight by a whopping five pounds Friday morning and then went out and dropped a lopsided unanimous to a 34-year-old that entered having lost three straight fights. Chandler is tough and durable, and is at her best when she can get in tight in an attempt to grapple, but those moments have been few and far between during her UFC run despite the fact she has a 2-2 record with the company. There's virtually no upside here.

Picks up win after weight miss
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
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.
