UFC 265 (Welterweight): #5 Chiesa v. #6 Luque

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

#5 Michael Chiesa (USA)

#6 Vicente Luque (BRA)

 

Current odds:

Michael Chiesa: (-110)

Vicente Luque: (-110)

 

Chiesa’s strength is a seriously underrated part of his game and he’s looked so much stronger at 170. If you didn’t want to put any serious stock into it against Condit or Diego, the way he bullied Rafael dos Anjos and Neil Magny was impressive.

Luque is going to have a decided striking advantage in addition to not being easy to outgrapple. Chiesa will have to do everything in his power to avoid getting into prolonged exchanges with Vicente on the feet, or else he’s in for a long night.
