Michael Chiesa to fight Vicente Luque at UFC 265

A pair of streaking welterweights are set to fight on Aug. 7.

MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that Michael Chiesa (18-4) will fight Vicente Luque (20-7-1) at UFC 265 at a location still to be determined, following an initial report by Cageside Press.

This puts two of the 170-pound divisions hottest fighters against one another as Chiesa is currently on a four-fight win streak, while Luque has won his past three fights.

Chiesa most recently won a unanimous decision over Neil Magny this past January at a UFC Fight Island event in Abu Dhabi.
