As many expected, this one was an exciting, back-and-forth affair that occurred primarily on the mat. Unfortunately, the end of the bout was mired in controversy, as Lee took the back, locked up a rear-naked choke, but referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the action before Chiesa tapped. Though the choke was undeniably deep, and Chiesa seemed to be on the verge of tapping, no tap actually occurred.

Chiesa, meanwhile, has a three-fight win-streak derailed by this loss, as he returns to the loss column after wins over Mitch Clarke, Jim Miller and Beneil Dariush. He’s now 14-2 overall.
