Mike Chiesa vs. Anton Kuivanen Added to UFC 157

TUF 15 Winner Michael Chiesa

Chiesa Gets Kuivanen at UFC 157

TUF 15 winner Michael Chiesa will make his previously postponed UFC debut when he takes on Finnish up and comer Anton Kuivanen at UFC 157 on Februrary 23 in Anaheim, California.

Chiesa was originally scheduled to fight Marcus Levesseur at UFC on FOX 5 earlier this month, but was forced to withdraw due to an undisclosed illness. He will most likely look to once again showcase the aggressive grappling that earned him a submission victory over heavily favored Al Iaquinta in the finale of The Ultimate Fighter Season 15 Finale.

Anton Kuivanen, meanwhile, has had a bit of a rocky start since his UFC debut last February. He was able to escape the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu attacks of Mitch Clarke to earn a hard-fought split decision win at UFC 149, but is likely in for a stiffer test against Chiesa's wrestling base when the two square off in this lightweight bout.
