The Record Emma Chandler Carries Into LAP 06

Emma Chandler enters LAP 06 already holding a sanctioned world title. She is the inaugural United World Wrestling World Pankration champion, gold at U15 Women 57kg. The credential predates her amateur MMA debut. It is one entry in a file that already runs long.

Federation records confirm the flagship result. Chandler won gold at the 2025 UWW World Pankration World Championships, U15 Women 57kg, in Loutraki, Greece, contested 5 through 7 November 2025. The event was inaugural. She holds first-champion status in the division. United World Wrestling published the full results book. She competed as a United States national team member, selected directly by the U.S. governing body.

The Documented Record

The pankration title sits on a deep base. Chandler entered 2025 with a documented competitive record above 600 wins, at a finish rate near 96 percent, secured across mixed martial arts, pankration, jiu-jitsu, submission grappling, wrestling, and Muay Thai. The record is not confined to one discipline. It was built across all of them.

Grappling anchors the file. Chandler took the inaugural IBJJF Pan Kids No-Gi title in 2024, every match won by submission, in a ruleset structured to reward point management. She closed the 2023–2024 IBJJF No-Gi season ranked number one in the world in her division. She competes today as an IBJJF-registered purple belt, a rank the federation does not confer on fifteen-year-olds lightly. Tijuana Informativo independently notes an extensive grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu résumé carrying multiple championships.

The credentials are not adjacent to MMA. They are its component parts, held at championship level, one athlete.

Quality of Competition

The file includes wins over ranked, titled opponents. At the 2025 UWW World Pankration Championships, Chandler defeated Cassidy Hartman, crowned UWW No-Gi Grappling World Champion at the same venue days earlier, controlling her from top position across both rounds. During her 2025 United States youth-MMA campaign she defeated Lariah Gill, a two-time IMMAF Youth World Champion. She traveled to Roufusport in Wisconsin and defeated Ruby Mae, the 2025 U.S. national champion and a GAMMA world medalist, and Scarlett Shreve, a 2026 GAMMA USA national champion, a full age division up. In August 2024 she defeated Audrina Del Bosque, who one week later took silver at the 2024 ADCC Youth World Championships.

The Assignment

Chandler now trains full time at Entram Gym in Tijuana under head coach Raúl Arvizu, the room that developed a UFC flyweight champion from age twelve. The affiliation is independently documented; the Sherdog fighter database lists her association as Entram Gym. The whole household relocated for it.

LAP 06 is staged for Tijuana's 137th anniversary. The card runs Sunday, 26 July 2026, first fights at noon, at Plaza Palacios on the UABC Facultad de Medicina grounds in the Zona Río, beside the Palacio Municipal. Admission is free; the municipal sports institute, IMDET, is a backer. The program runs roughly 15 amateur bouts and is headlined by two title fights, and the promotion expects a crowd near 20,000 — comparable to the gate of a major arena card. At 130 pounds, a step up from the 57-kilogram class of her world title, Chandler meets reigning Tijuana Fight Championship titleholder Jásmine "La Bomboncita" Lara of Bombón Team, a decorated striker who took a championship belt weeks earlier. The bout is billed USA versus México, though Chandler now trains minutes from the venue.
