Michael Chiesa returned home as one of three main event winners during the UFC’s recent trip to Abu Dhabi and has his eye on a potential matchup with one of the more polarizing figures in the welterweight division.
Chiesa earned his fourth straight win with a dominant unanimous decision over Neil Magny in the headliner of UFC Fight Island 8 this past Wednesday. It was Chiesa’s first fight since his January 2020 win over Rafael dos Anjos, and his return to action following knee surgery over the summer.
“It just feels good to be in the win column,” Chiesa told MMA Fighting while appearing on What the Heck.
