Chelsea Chandler scored a unanimous decision victory over Josiane Nunes on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 239.

A victorious Chandler dealt with a lot during the lead in to the fight, included an attempted home break in.

“Oh God, we can get into it,” Chandler told MMA Junkie. “I’ve had the Week of Horror. My car was vandalized when I left my house. People tried to break into it. That was Monday. I’ve got that time of the month, too. So this has been… I was ready to go, and just little hiccups. I have it dialed in. My nutritionist, my weight, everything is good. So next time, I’ll be here on time, on weight, ready to go.”

Chandler also missed weight for her bout against Nunes, coming in one pound overweight for her bantamweight division encounter.

The fighter, despite the bad week leading into UFC Fight Night 239, wants a top ten opponent for her next Octagon appearance.

“Listen, I don’t like begging for fights, but I want to fight,” Chandler said. “I want fight offers. After that last fight, there was a bad taste in my mouth. I went up. I took a risk going up in a weight class fighting a bigger girl. This is my home and I’m hoping to get a fight as soon as possible. I’m No. 13 in the world now and I feel like a couple of the girls below me are either out injured. I’m hoping to get someone in the top 10, big top 10 opponents, and get my way through this division. It’s wide open.”
