Kunath argued this matchup is Joselyne Edwards’ fight to lose. He cited Edwards’ superior speed, footwork, and jab‑‑low‑kick combination that should keep the southpaw at her preferred mid‑range. Chelsea Chandler is physically stronger and dangerous in top position, but Kunath doubts the fight gets there: Edwards has defended 13 of her last 15 takedowns and Chandler averages only 0.8 takedowns per 15 minutes. On the feet, Edwards lands 4.7 significant strikes per minute—almost double Chandler’s clip—and carries a 43 percent striking defense that will blunt single‑shot returns. Because both women are decision machines (10 of their combined 13 UFC appearances have gone the distance) Kunath recommended hammering the over 2.5 rounds regardless of price as a parlay leg, while playing Edwards by decision (+120) for straight action. In DFS cash builds, Edwards offers safe volume without finish‑upside salary.

MMA Guru said Joselyne Edwards should win a 29‑28 decision because she owns the measurable striking advantages. Edwards carries a 4‑inch reach edge, is the far more seasoned fighter with 20 pro bouts to Chandler’s nine, and has shown competent counter‑wrestling when opponents try to drag her down. Guru noted that recent judging trends in women’s MMA have begun to favor visible damage over control, a scoring environment that benefits the rangier kickboxer. Conversely, Chandler has yet to demonstrate reliable takedown chains or top control and has already dropped three of nine career fights. Guru therefore advised backing Edwards on the cards.

Bedtime MMA picked Joselyne Edwards to win a 29‑28 decision over Chelsea Chandler. He argued Edwards is the far more proven fighter, routinely going to competitive decisions with solid opposition (losses to Ailin Perez and Nora Cornolle, a win over Tamirez Vidal). Chandler, by contrast, is "a classic female Nick Diaz army brawler" whose 2007‑style stand‑and‑bang approach will not translate against a modern, more well‑rounded opponent. The tout expects Edwards’ superior fight IQ, speed, and cardio to offset Chandler’s slight size edge and turn this into a volume‑based, point‑fighting affair that favors the Panamanian striker on the scorecards.
