A black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Theodorou made it to the UFC on April 16, 2014, when he stopped Sheldon Westcott via strikes in “The Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale.”

” At that point in his video, Chiesa held up a folded gray sports jacket he said belonged to Chiesa.

Chiesa said he was asked on short notice to attend a news conference but didn’t have a collar.

“I was telling him this and he was wearing [this sports jacket], with a T-shirt,” Chiesa said. “He took his jacket off and gave it to me. I never got a chance to give it back to him.

That’s the type of guy he was. While I’m sad like a lot of people, he touched a lot of lives and I have to remember I’m very blessed that I had the friendship I had with him.”
