Playoffs? PLAYOFFS!?
Mario should go flush his own head down the toilet. What a pathetic ending to the show. Sucks for both fighters, and sucks for the fans in the arena, and sucks for the UFC.

I feel for Chiesa because he didn't tap or go out and there's no guarantee he would've prior to the end of the round but I think that was almost just as bad for Lee. He had that choke in deep and it looked like it was only a matter of time. Now, instead of an emphatic win over a highly ranked guy, there's controversy and he may have to give him a rematch. Bad ending aside though, Lee looked great and is on his way to becoming a star.

Lee has 0 striking. He has a huge reach and trains at Mayweather gym and yet he can't strike for ****. He really needs to work on it, if he wants to be a threat in the division.
Hendricks needs to move to Bellator. And Chiesa was out; don't see any controversy.

Chiesa not tapping there was a technicality. He couldn't get out of that position and was hoping to hang on until the bell. Plus, even though he successfully defended that choke once before, Lee got that one in DEEP and it looked like Chiesa went limp because he stopped hand fighting the choke. That was why Mario thought he went out. It wasn't a good stoppage by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't highway robbery either. It was just a fight that was ending in 10 seconds that got ended in 5 and Chiesa was awake enough to protest. Lee was clean under the chin, Chiesa had nothing by way of defense and wasn't resisting the choke. A guy with a RNC like Lee has finishes that 10/10 times. I actually feel bad for Lee because he was brutalizing Chiesa from that back mount and that would have felt like a much more emphatic win without the stoppage.
But here's the thing. We were just talking about the responsibility of protecting the fighters in the Tim Hague thread. Chiesa was locked into a choke, looked glazed over, and his hands weren't actively working on defense. He looked unconscious. Mario would want that one back, but Chiesa probably can't in good conscience say he had a chance of escaping that one. I haven't heard any post fight press, but I would imagine once he gets to the back and looks at the tape he'll probably come to terms with it. He allowed himself to get put in the worst kind of spot.

I have zero problems with Yamasaki stopping that. 30 seconds left with a deep RNC from a guy who's finished now his last three with that exact choke. Chiesa was done.
