Chiesa (14-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) saw the first headlining spot of his UFC career end on a controversial note on Sunday, when referee Yamasaki called a first-round stop to his UFC Fight Night 112 contest with Kevin Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC). Chiesa was on the bad end of a seemingly tight rear-naked choke, but with just a few seconds left on the clock, he was still conscious when Yamasaki stepped in. Chiesa was at least alert enough to immediately contest the ending of the FS1-televised event at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla. Between the stoppage and the official announcement of Lee’s win, Chiesa could be seen angrily pacing around the octagon and mouthing some of his thoughts on the ref (via Twitter ): Michael Chiesa has some choice words for referee Mario Yamasaki following the end of the Kevin Lee fight: “You should be f*cking fired!” pic.twitter.com/6zsVmQexmp — Chamatkar Sandhu (@SandhuMMA) June 26, 2017 Chiesa’s feelings on Yamasaki hadn’t changed when he talked to the media immediately after the event
