A “drunk” Michael Chiesa injured himself while celebrating after his long-time teammate, Julianna Pena, scored one of the biggest upsets in MMA history by beating Amanda Nunes at UFC 269.

‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ shocked the world last night when she put her hands on Nunes in the second round before choking out the now-former bantamweight champion.

ESPN MMA posted the below video that showed lots of famous faces reacting to Pena’s seismic upset.

In the clip, Chiesa can be seen hopping the fence and falling over before sprinting away from the shot.

According to Dana White, ‘Maverick’ may have had too much to drink and subsequently injured himself while trying to hop into the cage to celebrate with Pena. The UFC president says Chiesa was subsequently escorted out of the arena by police.

“How do I say this without embarrassing the guy,” White said at the UFC 269 post-fight press conference. “He 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.

“[The police] dragged him out, got him outside and calmed him down in the back, and I went back and talked to him for a minute, and we’re all good.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Michael Chiesa Isn’t Having The Best Year

After starting life at welterweight with four straight wins, the wheels have metaphorically fallen off for Chiesa in the back end of 2021.

The 34-year-old has suffered back-to-back- defeats against Vicente Luque and Sean Brady.

Despite that Chiesa remains in the welterweight top 10 and will fancy himself to rebound against whoever it is he will face next.

Right now, his next opponent is probably a mean hangover after a night of celebrating Pena’s historic win.

Do you think Michael Chiesa got a bit carried away at UFC 269?

UFC welterweight contender Michael Chiesa says he enjoyed his fight with Sean Brady at UFC Vegas 43 despite not getting the win.

Chiesa entered the fight looking to get back on track after a disappointing loss to Vicente Luque at UFC 265. However, Chiesa ran into a strong up-and-coming prospect in Brady that controlled the fight on the feet and in the grappling aspect as well.

Despite suffering the unanimous decision defeat, Chiesa had some strong moments and nearly finished the fight in the final seconds. Afterwards, Chiesa praised Brady for the win while also remaining optimistic about his fighting future.

“Disappointed I didn’t get the win tonight but I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t have fun out there,” Chiesa said. “Nothing but respect for [Sean Brady] and the Philly crew. The goal remains the same. I’ll be back stronger than ever in 2022.”

Michael Chiesa Has Lost Two In A Row After Winning Four Straight

Chiesa was arguably the hottest welterweight in the division before losing to Luque, having won four straight over the likes of Rafael dos Anjos and Neil Magny. He was close to securing a first-round submission against Luque before Luque reversed position and caught Chiesa in a brabo choke.

Chiesa made the move to welterweight after an up-and-down tenure at lightweight, which included several brutal weight cuts. He moved up to 170 pounds in 2018.

At 33 years old, Chiesa remains one of the most dangerous welterweights in the UFC, with some of the best grappling in the division. He has also showcased vast improvements in his standup and looked fast against Brady.

After a pair of setbacks to wrap up 2021, Chiesa will look ahead to 2022 to get back on track and snap a two-fight losing skid.

Sean Brady

Sean Brady initially didn’t name a future opponent in his post-fight Octagon interview last night after a decisive unanimous decision victory over #6 welterweight contender Michael Chiesa.

Brady extended his undefeated record to 15-0 in MMA and 5-0 in the UFC and is clearly ready for a step up in competition. While beating someone of Chiesa’s pedigree was certainly impressive and a breakout performance for the Philadelphia native, he was adamant that he’s only scratched the surface in regards to his ability in the octagon.

“I didn’t underestimate him coming in,” Brady told media post-fight at UFC Vegas 43. “I knew this was going to be a tough fight. Sometimes you get finishes, sometimes you don’t. … There’s just some guys who are dogs and they’re hard to get out of there.”

Sean Brady Wants The Winner Of Belal Muhammad vs. Stephen Thompson

When asked in the post-fight presser who he had in mind for his next opponent, Brady named the winner of the UFC Vegas 45 main event between #9 Belal Muhammad and #5 Stephen Thompson on December 19th.

“I think the winner of Belal and ‘Wonderboy’ would be fun,” Brady said. “I don’t know what they’re both ranked, but I know they’re in the top 10. I know the rankings come out on Tuesday, I’m sure I’m going to land somewhere in the top 10. Then yeah, we can go from there.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

This is a smart callout from the 28 year old contender. It would be a perfect stepping stone for someone like Brady, who can build himself up towards a world title fight if he can string together a few more wins and keep his undefeated record in tact.
