"Chiesa (19-7) finds himself in one of several newly announced fights, taking on Carlston Harris at UFC Seattle on March 28, 2026. Winner of The Ultimate Fighter 15, Colorado-born Chiesa fights out of nearby Spokane Valley, Washington, and grew up there. Promotion officials announced the match-up on Saturday. Casey O'Neill vs. Gabriella Fernandes and Mansour Abfdul-Malik vs. Yousri Belgaroui were also announced, with the promotion also confirming the previously reported Marcin Tybura vs. Johnny Walker match-up."
"Chiesa, a former lightweight, has won his last three fights. Now 38, "Maverick" is coming off a decision victory against fellow Ultimate Fighter winner Court McGee; prior to that, he had earned submission wins against Tony Ferguson and Max Griffin. Harris, on the opposite trajectory, has lost his last two and will enter the bout looking to rebound from a TKO stoppage at the hands of Santiago Ponzinibbio last January."
