What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Counter punching

    Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

Scouting report

Chelsea Chandler is a 35-year-old Southpaw women's bantamweight out of USA, camped at Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The tape read: pocket striker — southpaw. Career mark 7-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (62).

What works. Durability is the standout at 84 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.81 TD/15 and 0.27 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.37 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 82% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (39, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Chandler yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

39 D

Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • 0.81 takedowns / 15 at 60% accuracy
  • 0.27 submission attempts / 15 · 2 career sub wins

Striking defense

64 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

49 D

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • 0.25 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

62 C+

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

  • Str def 61% · TD def 82% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.37 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

49 D

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 3.52 SLpM at 55% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.37 SApM

Takedown reaction

68 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 82% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

84 A

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 4 losses
  • 5 decision wins — proof they last and still score
