Please retire Chiesa

That's as terrified as I've ever seen a fighter look from the jump
Looked downright awful and like he didn't even wanna be in there
 
Something about those guys body types like Holland and Izzy and using their TDD with the fence, makes them almost impossible to take down.
Izzy just has good td defense because long skinny leg body type most definitely is NOT an asset in defensive wrestling, where the objective in stuffing a takedown is typically lowering your center of gravity to defend
 
He looked bad. Dude had some potential at one point. Too much sitting on the sidelines being hurt or more motivated to be a UFC analyst I guess.
 
He’s gotta start fighting with his mind instead of straight emotion and reaction. Dude is the definition of chaos.
 
I think he should fight Tony next in a winner gets to fight Kevin Lee in his return fight.
 
Mamluk warrior here taken as a young boy from the Caucasian Steppes by Arab slave traders to be trained in hand to hand combat and sword fighting while memorizing the Quran an being bread for pure unflinching devotion to the Sultanate fighting in bloody battles across the Levant and yeah Chiesa looked like a total pussy in there.

For real though Holland should stay at WW, he's improved dramatically, I think it's less of a case with Chiesa being bad (although wtf was that awful telegraphed head ducking) and more to do with Holland improving his takedown defense and therefore shutting down all Chiesa has (grappling/wrestle fucking) and forcing him to compete in an area where he isn't even in the same dimension as Holland(striking).

Chiesa also seemingly aged somewhat I suppose but I'd give Holland all the credit here, he looked very good.

I can see why he was the favorite, but I felt very comfortable picking Holland.

Chiesa is one of those fights with a really good resume, but when I watch them fight, I can see the glaring weaknesses.

He was the favourite!? Where!? I checked my bookie before the fight and Holland was a solid favourite which made me skip putting money him even though I felt he was almost a lock.

Your right I'm mistaken, maybe Chael and Smith picking Chiesa tricked me for a second lol.
