Tough round to score. 

It was mostly Chiesa till the last minute, then Pettis really took over.

might have been after the buzzer. Hard not to score that for chiesa but Petrtis should come on stronger next round, looks like he's got fire in the belly.

haha Great performance by Showtime!

Chiesa was way too comfortable sitting there with one arm in and one arm out.

I don't think Chiesa will do well at WW. Just my opinion.

Mismatch chiesa is just not that good he doesn’t belong in the rankings. He was getting schooled by dariush. My bet was on a knockout though should have just went for a finish in general lol

It’s only an upset to people who look at stats rather than level of competition. Pettis has lost to nobody outside the top 5 unless we go back as far as the guida fight and chiesa has beaten nobody in the top 15 assuming iaquinta gets put back down to where he belongs
