Michael Chiesa got so drunk on Saturday that he had to be escorted out of the T-Mobile Arena after attempting to rush the cage to celebrate teammate Julianna Pena’s upset submission win over Amanda Nunes in the UFC 269 co-main event.
Chiesa reportedly suffered multiple injuries to his face, including a busted eye, while trying to storm the octagon.
“How do I say this without embarrassing the guy,” Dana White said at the UFC 269 post-fight press conference (h/t MMA Fighting). “He [Chiesa] 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 police that he needed to get into the octagon and be with her, because that’s his teammate.
