Wins battle of grizzled veterans
Chiesa defeated Court McGee via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlanta.
Impact
Chiesa struggles in anything other than a grinding mat battle at this stage of his career, but he managed to get his striking going a bit against a 40-year-old opponent in McGee. In fact, Chiesa's 72 significant strikes landed this evening were his most in 21 UFC bouts. None of them damaged Court in the least, but given the fact he absorbed no damage at all, Mike was able to win an easy decision. Set to turn 38 years of age in December, Chiesa has won three in a row dating back to August 2024. That said, it's mostly smoke and mirrors. The winning ways aren't going to continue unless the company continues to remain cautious regarding the level of competition they match him up against moving forward.
