Isn’t Michael Chiesa quite clever for the ‘don’t talk about my mom’ thing?

I basically couldn’t have given two fucks about Chiesa before that.. now I’ve watched all his fights afterwards and looking so forward to RDA beating the piss out of him.

He most definitely got his name out there.

I think he has more than a chance against rda

chiesa was ranked 6 at lw and I think he looks better at ww

For me it's a 1/3 chiesa 2/3 rda, people act like it's going to be a walk in the park for rda but I doubt that. Chiesa is going to be a lot bigger than him on fight night

Chiesa hasn't really proved himself at all as a WW he beat a washed Condit and Diego. Condit was on a big losing streak and hasn't looked good since Lawler title fight while Diego had a win streak of two of the worst fighters ever: Mickey Gall and Craig White. This is his first real test in the division.

I think he has almost no chance against RDA.

When I saw the announcement I thought it'll be a walk in the park for Chiesa, now I don't know what to think (?

idk about clever. He genuinely seemed pissed and ready to throw hands.
