The action was better than expected earlier today (Fri., May 12, 2017) for UFC's "Summer Kickoff" press conference (video replay here) in Dallas, Texas.
During the presser, Kevin Lee took aim at Chiesa, Michael Johnson and Conor McGregor.
Chiesa, 29, is scheduled to meet Lee, 24, in a main event showdown at UFC Fight Night 112 on June 25 from inside Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A scuffle ensued, with a few shots thrown before security stepped in.
"He's going to headline (UFC Fight Night 112) because of me", Lee told reporters.
US wants to ban laptops on flights from Europe
An industry-backed group, the Airline Passenger Experience Association, said the USA government should consider alternatives. A congressional official said Homeland Security was likely to expand the ban soon, but did not say when or to what airports.
Security escorted both men from the stage. "I just hope he shows up, because I know his momma's got tickets".
Chiesa shrugged off Lee's brash smack talk initially, but he wouldn't have it when "The Motown Phenom" brought his mom into the conversation for some unknown reason.
Chiesa then dropped the microphone and ran over to Lee but by the time he got there, security held him back but Lee got a sneaky one in over the security guard's shoulder.
I stayed sitting down, never said nothing bad about his family and he decided he wanted to stand up, run and catch a fade.
