Michael Chiesa and Kevin Lee are scheduled to headline a UFC Fight Night event in Oklahoma next month.
At the UFC's 'Summer Kickoff' press conference last night the two lightweights got their battle off to an early start after Lee made some observations which Chiesa took badly.
I like Mike. I like Chiesa. He’s a good guy. I’m doing him a favor. I’m gonna change his life on June 25.
His whole life they’ve been telling him hard work and dedication will get him where he wants. It’s just not true. It’s not going to happen.
I’m going to carry him through this card. He’s going to headline because of me. After that he’s going back to the prelims. I hope he shows up.
I know his momma got tickets.
The mention of his mother enraged Chiesa.
Shut the fuck up about my mom. Don’t you ever talk about my mom. Don’t you ever talk about my fucking mom.
I’ll smack the fuck out of you right now. Don’t you ever talk about my mom.
Security staff had to step in to separate the two after Chiesa bolted towards Lee. Lee managed to land a right hand on his rival before security staff pulled the two apart.
