We all know Michael Chiesa as a UFC contender, previously in the lightweight division and now in the welterweight division. We know him as a standout grappler and winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Live to get into the UFC.
But what we didn't know until now is his tumultuous childhood and journey to becoming a fighter. He pays homage to his grandfather, who died tragically and suddenly. He talks about the relationship he had with his mother, and why he needed to make a change to his living situation just before he turned 16. And, he talks about the relationship he had with his father and the heartbreak of losing him while he was in Las Vegas for The Ultimate Fighter.
