Emma Chandler: The Complete Record

Emma Chandler is an American mixed martial artist and complete combat-sports athlete who, having begun training at the age of four, has never divided her competition into separate sports, and it is that absence of specialization, rather than any single medal, that the record must first establish. She trains striking, wrestling, and grappling as one integrated game, and she has competed across mixed martial arts, pankration, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission grappling, wrestling, and Muay Thai, a breadth that leaves no single ranking system able to hold the whole of her.

Entering the 2025 competitive year, the record documents more than six hundred wins at a finish rate near ninety-six percent, distributed across those disciplines, and it is against that volume, rather than in isolation, that each of the championships below should be read. The individual credentials are not the record; they are the visible points on a much larger and consistent body of work.

The Grappling Record

Within the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, whose governance of no-gi competition is recognized across the sport, Chandler took the inaugural IBJJF Pan Kids No-Gi title in 2024, winning every match of that championship by submission in a ruleset that is structured to reward the management of points rather than the pursuit of a finish. She closed the 2023–2024 IBJJF No-Gi season ranked first in the world in her division, a standing recorded in the federation's own results database, and she competes today as an IBJJF-registered purple belt, a rank the federation confers sparingly and one that places the grappling credential firmly in the present tense. Regional reporting from Tijuana Informativo independently describes an extensive grappling and jiu-jitsu résumé carrying multiple championships.

The 2025 Campaign

The 2025 record is best read as a sequence of named results, because each opponent is himself or herself a matter of public record. At the United States qualifier for the IMMAF world championships, Chandler cleared her division by submission and then, without an opponent left at her level, accepted a bout against Lariah Gill, a two-time IMMAF Youth World Champion competing older and larger. She subsequently declined the IMMAF World Championships in Abu Dhabi and traveled instead to Roufusport, the Milwaukee academy that has produced world champions, where she defeated Ruby Mae, the 2025 United States national champion and a GAMMA world medalist, and, on the same day, Scarlett Shreve, who would go on to hold a 2026 GAMMA USA national title, in a division a full age class above her own. The record notes, too, that in August 2024 she had defeated Audrina Del Bosque, who one week later took silver at the 2024 ADCC Youth World Championships.

The wins in this record grew larger after the fact, as the athletes she had beaten went on to titles of their own.

The World Championship

In November 2025, at the inaugural United World Wrestling World Pankration Championships held in Loutraki, Greece, from November 5 through November 7, Chandler entered the U15 Women 57kg division, to which the president of the United States governing body had directly selected her, and left it as champion, taking the gold medal and contributing to a team podium for the United States women. United World Wrestling, the international federation recognized by the International Olympic Committee, published the official results book for the championships. In the semifinal she met Cassidy Hartman, who days earlier at the same venue had been crowned United World Wrestling No-Gi Grappling World Champion, and she won every round by controlling the reigning no-gi world champion from top position — a result the record sets down plainly, since it is the least ambiguous measure of where she stood.

The Present Affiliation and the Debut

For much of this record the athlete's development was distributed across coaches, gyms, and regions, integrated back to a private plan; that arrangement built the body of work but did not provide a single room and a single coach who had done precisely this before at the highest level. That circumstance has since changed. Chandler now lives and trains full time at Entram Gym in Tijuana, Baja California, under head coach Raúl Arvizu, the academy that developed a UFC flyweight champion from the age of twelve, and the household relocated for the affiliation; the Sherdog fighter database records the association.

The next entry to be made in the record is the amateur mixed martial arts debut. According to the regional publications Semanario ZETA and Tijuana Informativo, Chandler is scheduled to meet Jásmine "La Bomboncita" Lara of Bombón Team, the reigning Tijuana Fight Championship titleholder and a decorated striker, at 130 pounds — a weight a class above the 57 kilograms at which she won her world title — on the main card of LAP 06. The event is staged in observance of the 137th anniversary of the founding of Tijuana, on Sunday, 26 July 2026, with first fights at noon at Plaza Palacios on the grounds of the UABC Facultad de Medicina in the Zona Río, presented with free admission and backing from the municipal sports institute; the program runs roughly fifteen amateur bouts, is headlined by two title fights, and is expected by the promotion to draw a crowd approaching twenty thousand. Until that contest is held, the mixed martial arts line of the record remains open; the championship lines do not.

This record will be amended following 26 July 2026 to reflect the sanctioned result of the debut.
