Michael Chiesa 'critical' of fighters on UFC Tonight, wants shot at analyst gig

Michael Chiesa watches UFC programming on FOX Sports 1 religiously. And every time he's sitting in front of the television watching a show like UFC Tonight, he finds himself shaking his head.

"I see some of these guys do it, like god dang, dude," Chiesa told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "Quit saying 'like' and quit saying 'um.' Speak clearly."

The UFC lightweight admits to assessing his peers who work as FOX analysts. It's for one simple reason: He thinks he can do as good of a job, if not better.
