5 UFC welterweights who could end Khamzat Chimaev's winning streak

#4. Vicente Luque

Luque is ranked #4 with a record of 21-7-1

Vicente Luque may not nearly have the name value of Khamzat Chimaev but he remains a prominent contender in the division. While his potential has been apparent for some time, it seems as though Luque may have now put it all together during his current four-fight winning streak.

Luque has delivered impressive first-round finishes over big names like Tyron Woodley and Michael Chiesa in his last two outings. On top of that, Luque has proven his ability to both knockout and submit opponents.

The Brazilian is also very muscular for the weight class, which may help him defend against the other-worldly strength of Chimaev. If Luque can avoid being swarmed, his experience may allow him to exploit openings in Chimaev's game.

#3. Leon Edwards

Edwards is currently ranked #3 with a record of 19-3 (1 NC)

Leon Edwards is on a similar undefeated streak to Khamzat Chimaev, with neither man having lost in their past ten fights. On top of that, Edwards has achieved the feat against a much higher level of opposition.

A potential issue with this one would be Edwards' size, as Chimaev would be the much larger man in the cage. If Edwards is able to stay at a distance, he could be able to pick apart 'Borz' from range. While Chimaev has a greater reach, Edwards is a cleaner striker, and is a master of range.

Additionally, Chimaev proved at UFC 267 that he could have a tough time making weight.

When you also consider he has never seen a fight go into the third round, it seems like in a five-round fight between the pair, Edwards could possibly tire out Chimaev for the later rounds.

Edwards has great cardio, as shown by the fact three of his last five fights have gone the full 25 minutes.
