UFC Fight Night 112 took place this past weekend (June 25, 2017) live on FOX Sports 1 from Oklahoma City, and the event certainly had its strange moments.

The main event featured an intriguing lightweight bout between rising contenders Kevin Lee and Michael Chiesa. Lee ended up winning the bout via rear-naked-choke submission in the first round, but the stoppage has since been plagued by controversy, as many feel as if referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight too early.

Lee was content with the stoppage, although he seemed to be more concerned with the fact that Justine Kish had pooped inside the Octagon earlier in the night:

“I’m telling you right now I had no idea,” he told TMZ Sports. “I was in a car riding on the way back to the hotel and somebody said ‘Yo, how did that girl poop herself?’ I was like ‘What?’ There should have been a disclaimer or something! And actually when I got back to the hotel I asked Felice about it because I seen her, and she said that she smelt it and she thought it was a fart.”

“I’m telling you right here, right now, that I’m so glad Mario stopped my fight because if [Chiesa] would have s**t himself, I would have tapped. I would have stopped the fight myself.”

As far as what’s next for Lee, the “Motown Phenom” said that he would welcome an ‘easy money’ rematch with Chiesa, although he has more interest in fighting a top contender like Khabib Nurmagomedov:

“I will just for the easy money, but it will wake me up a bit more to fight one of these big names,” he said. “Names like Khabib Nurmagomedov, specifically.”

Who would you like to see Lee fight next?

Despite the fact that the UFC put on a solid main card, viewership for UFC Fight Night 112 did slip from the last fight night event on FOX Sports 1, which was UFC Fight 110. This past Sunday’s event averaged 819,000 viewers, which is down from UFC FN 110 that averaged 923,000. The event peaked at 905,000 viewers twice for BJ Penn vs. Dennis Siver and Michael Chiesa vs. Kevin Lee.

The prelims averaged 319,000 viewers on FOX Sports 2, which is not available as many homes as FOX Sports 1. It was the second-best number in FOX Sports 2 history when it comes to Fight Night prelims. It trailed the 320,000 viewers that the event back on April 22nd pulled in. The prelim numbers are still good as the average UFC Fight Night prelims on the TV Network were 730,000.

A lightweight bout between Chiesa and Lee headlined this event. Johny Hendricks vs. Tim Boetsch in a middleweight bout served as the co-main event. Rounding out the main card was Felice Herrig vs. Justine Kish in a strawweight bout, Joachim Christensen vs. Dominick Reyes in a light heavyweight bout, Tim Means vs. Alex Garcia in a welterweight bout, and Penn vs. Siver in a featherweight bout.

The post-fight show pulled in 268,000 viewers, which is down from 351,000 viewers that UFC Fight Night 110 pulled in. This is a good sign as people were interested in sticking around for fight analysis or interviews.

Fight fans will have to wait to see more UFC action as the promotion returns next week for the TUF 25 Finale on July 7th and UFC 213 on July 8th in Las Vegas, Nevada at T-Mobile Arena.
