No wonder Diego lost badly.... The commission screwed him by giving his opponent a heads up to the secret!
Chiesa told MMA Junkie on Thursday. “It kind of started when Don House came and wrapped my hands, and he was just kind of laughing. He was like, ‘Man, he’s being a wild man back there,’ not really giving me details, but I’m already catching wind that things are kind of weird in the locker room. Then the person that I’m not going to name came to me and was like, ‘Hey, I’ve got to tell you, there’s talks of this crazy submission that he wants to try on you.'”
As MMA Junkie previously reported, Sanchez’s current manager and trainer, Joshua Fabia, warned Nevada Athletic Commission and UFC officials that he had armed his pupil with a maneuver so dangerous that it could potentially paralyze or even kill Chiesa if applied in the fight.
“I got a demonstration of what it was, and I mean, I immediately started laughing,” Chiesa said. “I was like, ‘If you think for a second you’re going to like reverse ‘Stone Cold Stunner’ me in a high-level mixed martial arts contest, you’re off your (expletive) rocker – pardon my language. But yeah, I knew what the move was.
“It was like if he had my chin, and his chest was on the back of my head like a guy would go for a guillotine, and it was like he was going to rotate and turn his back to me while still holding my chin, basically putting the back of my neck on his shoulder, and drop down. We started laughing. We’re like, ‘This is so funny.'”
