Michael Chiesa didn’t hold back in the aftermath of his controversial loss to Kevin Lee at UFC Fight Night 112.
Chiesa, who lost a grudge match to Lee via first-round submission in Sunday night’s headlining bout, ripped into referee Mario Yamasaki following the event, calling for Yamasaki to “never officiate ever again” after the veteran official questionably stopped the fight in the closing seconds of the opening round. At the time of the stoppage, Lee was locked onto Chiesa’s back with a body triangle and squeezing for a palm-to-palm rear-naked choke, however Chiesa never tapped and immediately jumped up to protest Yamasaki’s call.
