UFC OKC video highlights: Kevin Lee gets controversial rear naked choke of Michael Chiesa

Get the Full StoryCheck out the UFC OKC video highlights of Kevin Lee s first round rear naked choke of Michael Chiesa in the main event. The headliner for UFC OKC saw the UFC s #6 lightweight Michael Chiesa get choked out in the first round, well sort of, by the #11 ranked Kevin Lee. The top lightweights came out striking for a brief stint to start the fight, but Kevin Lee was able to find top position, as Chiesa worked for a Triangle Choke. Once out of harms way, Lee transitioned to the back, and unloaded a barrage of strikes, setting up a rear naked Choke. The referee assumed that Chiesa went unconscious, and prematurely called a halt to the UFC OKC main event.

Round 1 - Lee with an outside leg kick. Another. Lee keeping the center. Chiesa with a lead straight left that backs Lee off. Lee tripped and Chiesa jumped on top. Lee got up and looked for a double leg against the fence. He scooped him up and slammed him to the mat. Chiesa looking to frame up a triangle, but Lee defended well. Lee stood up out of guard to stack Chiesa. He stepped over and took his back. Slick. Sinks his hooks, then a body triangle against the cage. Chiesa rolled over to break it. He gets it back and lands some punches. Hard shots. Chiesa is sat on his butt with Lee on his back, eating punches. Chiesa is trying to stand up and dump him off. He rolls through, but Lee sinks the choke. It looks really deep. Chiesa was pulling his arm off...and Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight. Michael Chiesa did not tap out. It didn t even look like he was going to. Mario Yamasaki done screwed up. Chiesa popped up and protested the stoppage immediately.
