After missing out on an opportunity to fight in April, Michael Chiesa has found another way to get some exposure.
The lightweight contender will make his FOX Sports 1 broadcasting debut when he joins Michael Bisping, Jimmy Smith, and Karyn Bryant on the analyst desk this weekend for UFC Liverpool, FOX announced Monday.
Chiesa unexpectedly made headlines in April when his bout at UFC 223 against Anthony Pettis was spoiled by Conor McGregor’s destructive appearance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. McGregor attacked a bus carrying several UFC fighters in an attempt to get at rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, and he shattered a window with a thrown dolly resulting in injuries to Chiesa and Ray Borg.
