Video: After UFC 265, does Vicente Luque deserve title shot more than Leon Edwards?

Vicente Luque can no longer be ignored in the UFC welterweight division.

Luque confirmed himself as a true title contender this past Saturday at UFC 265 when he submitted Michael Chiesa in their main card bout. After the win, Luque laid out his case for a title shot, and champion Kamaru Usman – who is slated to rematch Colby Covington – at least acknowledged the discussion.

MMA Junkie’s Danny Segura posed a question on social media: At 10-1 in his last 11 fights, with nine stoppages and three consecutive performance bonuses, is Luque more deserving of a title shot than Leon Edwards?

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Nolan King, George Garcia, Mike Bohn, and host John Morgan discuss the topic on this week’s episode.

Check out the debate in the video above and watch the full episode below:
