Chandler came into the fight as a sizable betting underdog to Croden, who was a favorite of as much as 4-1. She finished the job inside the opening frame, however, and the 32-year-old credited her hard work for the win, then called out Luana Santos for her next fight.
"I'm so happy," Chandler said in her post-fight interview with Paul Felder. "I've trained and trained and it's paying off. ... Santos, I'm coming motherf*cker."
