It looks like the UFC has added a pivotal welterweight fight to its schedule, as it’s being reported Michael Chiesa will take on Vicente Luque next.

The welterweight contenders have agreed to fight at UFC 265, August 7, which has yet to have a venue and location announced. The match-up was reported first by Cageside Press.

Chiesa (18-4) is riding a four-fight winning streak, and is coming off a decision win over Neil Magny in January.

Luque (20-7-1) submitted former champ Tyron Woodley in his last outing, and has won three in a  row.
