Pre-fight analysis

A Canadian with a 98 chin rating and three UFC fights meets a submission threat who has been stopped once and carries a 0.67 finish rate.

Melissa Croden has three recorded UFC fights and the model likes all of them. Her 57.9 composite is the higher figure here, her chin rating is 98.0, her momentum reads 78.7, and her 6.33 striking score is comfortably the best in this pairing. The caveat has to be said plainly: three fights is a small base, and ratings built on it move a long way with one bad night. What those three fights contain…

Croden intel

Croden (8-3) has three recorded UFC fights: a decision win over Daria Zhelezniakova in April, a decision loss to Luana Santos in December 2025, and a third-round stoppage of Tainara Lisboa in October 2025. At 35, with a 98.0 chin rating and a 57.9 composite, she is the better-rated fighter here on a deliberately small sample.

Chandler intel

Chandler (6-4) submitted Priscila Cachoeira in the first round in June, her first win since a decision over Josiane Nunes in March 2024. She was knocked out by Joselyne Edwards in the first round in April 2025 and has decision losses to Yana Santos and Norma Dumont. Her 46.3 quality-of-victory is the higher of the two.

Key angles

Croden's ratings rest on three recorded UFC fights — the 57.9 composite is not yet load-bearing

A 0.0 submission score for Croden against Chandler's 3.33 and a first-round finish in June

Croden's 6.33 striking against 4.33 in a fight that starts standing

Chandler's 74.0 chin and the Joselyne Edwards knockout as the fastest route against her

Chandler's 46.3 quality-of-victory against Croden's 37.5 — she has faced the harder schedule

Risk flags

One takedown changes the fight entirely given Croden's 0.84 wrestling and 0.0 submission scores

Three recorded fights is not enough to trust a 98.0 chin rating against a fighter with a 0.67 finish rate
