A fight between two top welterweight contenders is in the works for UFC 265, as Michael Chiesa is set to meet Vincente Luque.
Cageside Press first reported the matchup, though the UFC is yet to confirm the fight. Luque currently sits at #5 in the welterweight rankings, whilst Chiesa is just behind him at #6.
Luque (20-7-1) is undefeated in his last three UFC appearances. All of those wins have been stoppage victories, submitting Tyron Woodley at UFC 260 and knocking out both Randy Brown and Niko Price in 2020. ‘The Silent Assassin’ has only lost to Stephen Thompson and Leon Edwards since 2015.
