UFC Fight Night: Norma Dumont-Chelsea Chandler Prediction and Odds
Norma Dumont vs. Chelsea Chandler Odds
Norma Dumont: -135 | Chelsea Chandler: +110
Dumont won each of her last two fights, most recently defeating Karol Rosa via decision in April. On the other side, Chandler won her UFC debut over Julija Stoliarenko via knockout in October of last year.
At 9-2 overall, Dumont comes from a grappling background, with a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. However, she also has striking chops with her black belt in Sanda. She lands 3.45 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 2.07. On the mat, she averages 1.16 takedowns per bout while defending them at 72%. Of her nine wins, she has two submissions and seven decisions.
Chandler’s strength is her striking, with two knockouts and one submission among her five victories. She currently rides a five-fight win streak as well. In her lone UFC fight she out-landed Stoliarenko 38-12 before earning a knockout. On the ground, she allowed one of three takedown attempts from Stoliarenko, but she only gave up 19 seconds of control time. This will be a big step up for Chandler, but the line suggests that bookmakers believe Chandler could be a legitimate threat in this division.
Dumont has the weapons to neutralize Chandler’s striking, especially if she can get this fight to the ground. Dumont at -135 is a value, but Dumont via decision should be enticing later in the week.
