Chandler is a striker who hunts the finish — of his 23 wins, 11 come by knockout, 7 by submission, and 5 by decision. He's a genuine finisher: 78% of those wins came inside the distance. 6 of his 11 defeats have come by KO/TKO, suggesting real vulnerability against powerful strikers. He's at his best when the fight stays standing — the live question in any matchup is whether an opponent can drag him into grappling he'd rather avoid.
