UFC Summer Kickoff Press Conference erupts in Chiesa-Lee brawl
Michael Chiesa: “Don’t you ever talk about my f@$%ing mom. Don’t you ever talk about my f@$%ing mom. … I’m gonna smack the f@$% out of your right now.”
On Friday at 5:30 p.m. the UFC hosted a Summer Kickoff press conference with some of the athletes from UFC 212 through UFC 214. There were more sparks that usual.
Michael Chiesa and Kevin Lee fight in the main event of UFC Fight Night 112 on June 25 in Oklahoma City.
He’s gonna headline because of me, said Lee. After that, he’s going back to the prelims. But I just hope he shows up, because … I know his momma got tickets.
That did not go over well.
“Shut the f*** up,” explained Chiesa, heatedly. “Don’t talk about my mom for one. Don’t you ever talk about my mom. Don’t you ever talk about my f***ing mom. Don’t you ever talk about my f***ing mom. … I’m gonna smack the f*** out of your right now, don’t you ever talk about my mom, don’t you ever talk about my mom.”
And with that Chiesa went after Lee.
Two staff security intercepted Chiesa, grabbing him, and at that moment, Lee, who was free, threw a straight left.
A third security person caught up with Chiesa, and one of the two who had been holding Chiesa peeled off and drove Lee back.
In the meantime a new British member of UFC security walked Chiesa halfway across the stage.
The takeaway is simple – don’t even f@$%ing talk about Michael Chiesa’s mom.
