Fight Breaks Out Between Lightweights At UFC Presser Over Mother Comments
Michael Chiesa and Kevin Lee are squaring off in the UFC 112 main event, but they went at it Friday as well.
At the UFC's Summer Kickoff presser, Chiesa (14-2) and Lee (15-2) came to blows after a "you want to talk about mothers!?" moment straight out of "White Girls."
During the presser, Kevin Lee took aim at Chiesa, Michael Johnson and Conor McGregor. Chiesa took exception to a comment from Lee, who said he knew Chiesa's mother would be at the June 25 fight in Oklahoma City.
Chiesa angrily rose to his feet and screamed at Johnson to not talk about his mother before rushing across the stage. Lee threw a punch, and both men were removed from the event.
UFC Fight Night 112 takes place on June 25 from Oklahoma City from the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Johny Hendricks, Clay Guida, BJ Penn, Antonio Rogerio Noguiera, Felice Herrig, Carla Esparza are also set for the show.
