JULIJA STOLIARENKO VS CHELSEA CHANDLER LOWDOWN
Fighting out of Kaunas, Lithuania, Julija Stoliarenko (10-6-1) finally got back into the win column in her last fight.

JULIJA STOLIARENKO VS CHELSEA CHANDLER PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s catchweight bout, Chandler will have the height advantage. However, both women share the same reach.
There is a little bit of hype regarding Chandler. Training at the famous Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu, many will be intrigued to watch her this weekend. Chandler is a genuine knockout artist, with good ground game to back it up. With that being said, Julija will be looking to take it to the floor as soon as possible as she is a danger on the mat. From the off, we suspect that Chandler will look to pick Julija apart with body and head strikes. Chandler has great wrestling and will be able to withstand any takedown pressure from Julija which will certainly make it an interesting contest.
