Michael Chiesa and Joe Lauzon put on a spectacular performance at UFC Fight Night 50. Unfortunately the bout was cut short by a cut that Lauzon opened up above Chiesa’s eye with a knee to the head. The doctors stopped the fight, which prompted a frustrated Chiesa to call for a rematch.<\/p>\n

Chiesa spoke with MMAJunkie<\/a> about how the $50,000 fight of the night bonus didn’t make up for the loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverone\u2019s like, \u2018Cheer up, you got the bonus.’ I don\u2019t care. I would give that $50,000 back just to be able to go the rest of the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty decent cut, but I\u2019ve seen worse, and I\u2019ve seen fights go on after worse cuts. I\u2019m not going to sit here and act like it\u2019s some chicken scratch. It\u2019s a bad one, but this is the hurt business, you know?”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just upsets me. I\u2019m not taking a shot at the commission, but I feel like they should have at least given me through the round. Herb did his job coming in and checking the cut, but we train three months for one moment. To take it away from me in a fight where I was never out of the fight isn\u2019t right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he got done with that flurry, he was gassed, I put it on him, and then they came in and checked the cut. From the cuts that he\u2019s had and how educated he is, for him to say he knew they were going to stop it is a crock of s\u2013t. There\u2019s no way he covered up and waited for them to stop it. He was striking back, and I was coming on. He was tired. It\u2019s just a heartbreaker.”<\/p>\n

\u201cFor people that watch me, they know how I fight. I\u2019m better the longer the fight goes on, and we were competing. I was never out of that fight at any point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gunning for a rematch. Everybody wants to avenge their losses, but I didn\u2019t lose. There\u2019s no way. I refuse to accept that I lost that fight. If Joe was handling me and kicking my ass and a cut stopped it, I\u2019d probably take it with a little bit more dignity and accept it. But I\u2019m not going to accept it.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very competitive fight that I feel like I was winning. I really feel like I deserve a rematch. I feel like the fans deserve a rematch. We were going back and forth. We were having a competitive fight. He might have got the win, but the didn\u2019t beat me, and he knows it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
