The UFC welterweight division is at one of the most exciting times in the promotion’s history. Numerous veterans still linger near the top as many undefeated and hot prospects are on the rise.
Tyron Woodley lost the belt to Kamaru Usman in March after a long championship reign. Lightweights-turned-welterweights Kevin Lee and Anthony Pettis have both entered the division hoping to have more success without the stress-inducing cut. Once title challengers Stephen Thompson and Darren Till have suddenly stumbled down the ladder. Competitors like Leon Edwards and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos have put together some of the longest win streaks in UFC history alone.
