UFC star Michael Chiesa was recently involved in a bizarre incident due to his behavior after Julianna Pena’s win. UFC President Dana White has now revealed some details to the fans about the situation with Chiesa. He revealed that it was simply because he had consumed a bit too much alcohol. White has also revealed how he paid Ronda Rousey.

White during the post-fight media scrum, went on to disprove the misconception that Michael Chiesa had gotten into a fight. He revealed that Chiesa had stormed the cage in a bid to celebrate with his teammate, Julianna Pena. However, in an attempt to climb over the cage, he fell and injured himself:
“He did not get in a fight. How to say this without embarrassing this guy? He had a little bit too much to drink this evening. When she won, he freaked out and tried to jump into the octagon and fell down on his face, cut his eye and busted his eye open, then was arguing with the cops that he needed to get into the octagon and be with her because that’s his teammate,” said UFC President Dana White.

He further revealed that the police were called and Chiesa was taken out and calmed down. In the final moments of the fight between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena, chaos broke out as Pena’s teammates celebrated her success at UFC 269. Miesha Tate and Michael Chiesa could hardly hold themselves back.
Julianna Pena, while in conversation with Laura Sanko, discussed Chiesa’s behavior in the conclusion of her triumphant bout at the co-main event:
“I mean we’re all from Washington. Mike and me started within one week of each other. We started in the same grungy little gym as big as this area right here. We’ve literally been grinding for thirteen years and we’ve been side by side, going to battle for 13 years together. It’s a big moment for me, it’s a big moment for my team and my teammates and I’m just happy to share this moment with everybody,” revealed Julianna Pena.
