Melissa Croden is looking to build some real momentum after bouncing back in April with that unanimous decision over Daria Zhelezniakova in Winnipeg. She landed 92 strikes and controlled over five minutes in that one, showing the kind of pressure game that earned her the nickname "Scare." Before that win, she dropped a decision to Luana Santos, but the October 2025 finish of Tainara Lisboa showed what she's capable of when things click. That third round ground and pound stoppage was nasty, 148 strikes landed at 64% accuracy. Chelsea Chandler is coming off a sick first round armbar finish over Priscila Cachoeira back in June.
- Croden riding two fight win streak with volume striking game
- Chandler's slick submission skills versus Croden's grinding pressure
- Southpaw grappler hunting finish against orthodox volume puncher
If Chandler can't find a submission early, Croden's pace and output could take over in rounds two and three.
That Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu pedigree showed up big time when she locked up that mount and got the tap at 3:42. But here's the thing, she's been inconsistent. That brutal knockout loss to Joselyne Edwards in April 2025 was rough, got stopped by ground strikes in under three minutes. She's also dropped decisions to Yana Santos and Norma Dumont in her recent run.
This is an orthodox versus southpaw battle that could get wild. Croden brings volume and wrestling threat with those takedowns, while Chandler's got that submission danger if it hits the mat. Croden's been the busier fighter lately, throwing over 180 strikes in her last outing. Chandler's gotta be careful not to get drawn into a grinding fight where Croden can pile up damage.
