Michael Chiesa is set to face Court McGee at UFC Atlanta, expressing excitement for the veteran matchup. He emphasizes the challenge McGee presents and acknowledges his respect for McGee's career achievements. At 37, Chiesa remains committed to fighting, driven by his passion for competition and continuous performance. He trusts his long-time coach to provide honest feedback regarding his ability to compete, and asserts that he still aims for success in the octagon, hoping for more victories and potential ranking opportunities.
I welcome the matchup. I think it's more challenging of a matchup than the oddsmakers have it pegged as. His body of work is impressive. He's been around for a very, very long time.
Just like anybody in any sport, any athlete, I just love competition. I love to fight. I've been with the same coach my entire career. He would have very honest conversations with me if it was time to slow down.
I'm still winning. Who's to say I can't win this fight, win another one, get another shot in the rankings?
If I didn't feel I could beat the best guys in the world I wouldn't continue to do this.
