Lightweights Kevin Lee and Michael Chiesa couldn't wait another month to swing at each other.
At the "UFC Summer Kickoff" press conference, Lee and Chiesa had to be separated after exchanging insults and punches.
Scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night 112 on June 25, the duo first hyped up their fight by exchanging compliments. But then Lee, the No. 12-ranked lightweight, referenced his No. 7-ranked opponent's mother, motivating Chiesa to rush him on the stage.
It appeared Lee got in one quick right hand before the two were taken away by security.
They'll get to finish what they started in 44 days.
