Michael Chiesa defeated Al Iaquinta by rear naked choke in the very first round to become the season fifteen ultimate fighter winner, but the long road was not an easy one by any means for the native of Spokane Washington. During the taping of the Ultimate Fighter live Chiesa received a phone call and was informed by his mother that his father had passed away from cancer the very same night that Chiesa had won his first fight to get into the house. His mother told him that his father was alive while he fought and was able to see his son victorious before he ha passed away. Chiesa got into the house with a submission victory over Johnavan Vistante and then went on to beat Jeremy Larsen, Justin Lawrence and James Vick to get into the ultimate fighter finale where he choked Al Iaquinta unconscious when he refused to tap. Through all of the up's and downs Micheal Chiesa pushed through the pain to become the season 15 Ultimate Fighter winner.
