UFC on FOX 8′s Michael Chiesa discusses the origin of his epic beard

SEATTLE – You could be forgiven if you’re under the belief that a scraggly coyote has taken up permanent residence on Michael Chiesa ‘s chin. Aside from his undefeated record and victorious run on “The Ultimate Fighter 15,” the UFC lightweight’s unkempt beard has become his signature feature. But there was a time when he wanted a trim. While filming “TUF 15,” a grueling 13-week season in which fights were shown live, he wanted to reduce the size of his crumb catcher. “The funny thing is that I always kept it a little long,” he said. “But when I was on ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ I asked them (about it).

SEATTLE – UFC lightweight Jorge Masvidal hasn’t had many good things to say about UFC on FOX 8 opponent Michael Chiesa . Actually, he hasn’t anything good to say at all. “I really just don’t care for him,” Masvidal told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I didn’t like his sportsmanship toward one of my teammates in his last fight. He was kind of a jerk. I just don’t care for him at all.

USA TODAY: UFC 161′s Roy Nelson says ‘the Roy Nelson business doing very well’

(This story appeared in today’s edition of USA TODAY .) Roy Nelson has a theory as to why UFC President Dana White doesn’t like him. “I think he’s star-struck,” Nelson (19-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who has been criticized by White for everything from his ragged, everyman appearance to his negotiating tactics, told USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “Some people get flustered when a bigger star is in the room.” It’s unclear if Nelson, 36, a heavyweight who goes by the nickname “Big Country” and who proudly sports both a beer belly and a bedraggled beard, meant that remark literally or if he even meant it at all. Judging by his reluctance to give straight answers to direct questions, that seems to be the way Nelson likes it. But as Nelson heads into a bout with fellow heavyweight Stipe Miocic (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC 161 in Winnipeg on Saturday (pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET), his relationship with White and the UFC appears to be as big a threat to his career as any opponent. According to White and Nelson’s manager, Mike Kogan, the fight against Miocic is the last on Nelson’s contract. Although Nelson says he doesn’t know whether that is the case — “I have people for that,” he says — he doesn’t deny White’s assertion that he has declined the UFC’s offer of an extension.
