Things did not go as planned for Michael Chiesa at UFC 265. Chiesa took on Vicente Luque in a high-stakes welterweight clash on the main card of UFC 235 in Houston, with the winner potentially one fight away from a title shot. Unfortunately for Chiesa (17-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) he will have more work to do after suffering a first-round submission loss to Luque on Saturday in a moment that left him more than “embarrassed.” Shortly after the fight concluded, Chiesa took to social media to release a statement about his opponent and his future in the division: Hats off to @VicenteLuqueMMA #visionquest pic.twitter.com/ppFvWgT6QB — Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) August 8, 2021 I want to jump out in front of this now
