“I beat Chiesa in his most high-profile fight in the first round,” Lee wrote on Twitter. “He got a hero’s send off in the UFC, fought another retiring fighter in his hometown, mom and wife and everybody there to watch his life story. My last fight in UFC was on the prelim of an Apex Card during Covid against an undefeated up-and-coming Russian. Chiesa tried to fight me in the locker room before the fight I didn’t say a word. Cold game fam.”
Lee (20-9) also dropped five of his final six UFC fights and got submitted in three of those losses.
“I know exactly when I went wrong in the UFCs eyes,” Lee added. “After I won my fight at MSG in 2019 they told me Trump wanted to meet. I snuck into the crowd and left the building. Then I met with Bernie Sanders a week later and did a whole speech for him. At that point I was dead in the water. I was told this. It don’t have nothing to do with Chiesa. Let it be a lesson to any young athletes, leave that politics sh*t alone and don’t f*ck with the Church’s money.”
