Liam Picks Fights said Chelsea Chandler is a classic Dog-or-Pass spot against Jocelyn Edwards. Chandler is fighting to keep her roster spot after two straight weight misses, yet Liam argued the weight narrative actually works in her favor here: Edwards has won the last three times she missed weight but has LOST her last two when she successfully hit 135. Chandler’s clearest path is wrestling—Liam projected that two or more takedowns would allow Chandler to either bank top-control rounds or find ground-and-pound. He pointed to Edwards getting stuck in bad positions versus Lucie Pudilova, a far less physical grappler, and noted Chandler is a brown-belt who is willing to eat a shot to get inside. Both fighters carry shaky gas tanks, so Liam prefers the plus-money side and even sprinkled violence props because Chandler can finish if she gets mount while Edwards can fade late. Bottom line: back Chandler moneyline or look to the under rather than laying chalk on Edwards.

Gumby Vreeland said Chelsea Chandler is worth a play at +240 because Edwards is a notoriously poor defensive grappler. He highlighted Edwards giving up six takedowns to Ailin Perez and noted Chelsea’s underrated BJJ and size advantage after years at 145. Gumby added that Edwards often lands only "pitter-patter" volume and backs straight out, while Chandler is "weirdly overly aggressive" and can steal rounds even if she doesn't get the takedown. With both women having weight-cut issues, he expects Chandler’s pressure and ground edge to decide the fight and sees value on the two-way moneyline instead of laying ‑290 on Edwards.
