Chiesa was dominating early, then Huerta dove in for a desperation takedown, got that, did huge damage, then took over the fight, based on said damage. He then finished with a punch. Chiesa needs a strength. He is a strong puncher without having a lot of related stand-up skills (Toughness, strength, dodging, etc). He is a strong fighter on the ground, but he focuses too much on his half-tuned punching instead of the takedowns that would get him to the ground - his bread and butter.

Are you blind? Huerta = 24 strikes landed (total); 2/2 Takedowns to Chiesa = 7 strikes landed (total); 0/1 Takedowns... not to mention it barely lasted into the 2nd round. If this was so even, as you claim, it would've lasted longer and Chiesa would've done more as well. I don't give a shit what the damage was. That's not the point. 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
