Chiesa is DUMB strong at 170. Good lord.

Chiesa has him in a body lock and is working for the choke.

Even for a guy who is generally reckless, these takedown attempts by Diego are exceptionally wild

— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) July 7, 2019

Diego’s cornerman just keeps screaming “move”.

Diego is a wildman! I love it!#UFC239

Welterweight looks like a brilliant move for Michael Chiesa. He's still big even for this division, and seemingly strong as hell. #UFC239

Dominant round of grappling by Chiesa, who takes the opening round. It took Sanchez’s coach about 15 seconds to actually get into the cage with a stool. #UFC239

Jesus, Diego looks like a 60 year old man in here. Someone just make this stop. No one cares about the first season of the Ultimate Fighter any more. Sanchez has never been a draw. Just make this all end or let him go die in One Championship or something.

Beautiful Grappling displayed by @MikeMav22 @DiegoSanchezUFC #ufc239

Chiesa lands a couple of hard punches and a knee and Diego is on his back

— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) July 7, 2019

Sanchez's cornerman has all the verbal urgency of someone reading bingo card numbers at an old folks home.

— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) July 7, 2019

I’ve always loved Chiesa approach to ground fighting. Looking excellent so far. Anyone see him rolling with Rockhold???

— John Gooden (@JohnGoodenUK) July 7, 2019

A “Diego!” chant starts in the arena. That man is relentless. #UFC239

— Marc Raimondi (@marc_raimondi) July 7, 2019

Totally one-sided for Chiesa through two rounds. He should be up 20-17. #UFC239

"Diego, come on. Move. Keep moving." – Amazing corner advice from the ninja guru.

— Robert Sargent (@MMARising) July 7, 2019

Well that looked like a mauling featuring fighters in different weight classes. Chiesa was just too big and too good on the ground.
