“Everone’s like, ‘Cheer up, you got the bonus,’” Chiesa told MMAjunkie. “I don’t care. I would give that $50,000 back just to be able to go the rest of the fight.”
“It’s a pretty decent cut, but I’ve seen worse, and I’ve seen fights go on after worse cuts,” Chiesa said. “I’m not going to sit here and act like it’s some chicken scratch. It’s a bad one, but this is the hurt business, you know?
“It just upsets me. I’m not taking a shot at the commission, but I feel like they should have at least given me through the round. Herb did his job coming in and checking the cut, but we train three months for one moment. To take it away from me in a fight where I was never out of the fight isn’t right.”
