MMA fans responded to the 29-year-old's post in the comments section. Surprisingly, many of the comments were positive as people appreciated the Stockton native's sense of humor.

"It takes a person with this kind of humor to find my material not to be offensive."

One individual argued that Chandler's reaction might have helped her avoid a TKO loss in the fight.

"Gotta do what you gotta do, took it from a potential TKO situation to a decision.. but the commentary team was cracking me up when this happen. I know DC wanted to interview you to ask about this."

How long has Chelsea Chandler been competing as a fighter?

Chelsea Chandler started her professional MMA career just over five years ago in March 2018. Chandler lost her first outing against Kerri Kenneson at Invicta FC 28.

But the Stockton native bounced back by winning all of her next four fights. This earned her an opportunity to compete in the UFC and she made her debut against Julija Stoliarenko in a catchweight bout (140 pounds) in October 2022.

Chandler made light work of her opponent and finished her via TKO in the first round. She won a 'Performance of the Night' bonus worth $50,000 for her impressive outing. But after her recent loss, the 29-year-old is now 5-2 as a fighter.
