One can only imagine being in the room when Dana White was watching the UFC Fight Night 112 main event Sunday night.
Kevin Lee locked in a rear-naked choke on Michael Chiesa in the waning seconds of the first round. Before Chiesa could tap or go unconscious, both of which would signal the end of the fight, referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the action and gave Lee a submission victory in Oklahoma City.
Was Chiesa on the way to going unconscious from the choke? Maybe, but we’ll never find out. Yamasaki prematurely ended the bout between two of the top lightweights in the world and an obviously livid White absolutely undressed him in a scathing post on social media.
