The top of the UFC’s welterweight division is a tough puzzle to solve when trying to determine the best matchups going forward.
[autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag] is the current king of the division, but who should be next to challenge for his throne? With many worth contenders like [autotag]Leon Edwards[/autotag], [autotag]Colby Covington[/autotag], and [autotag]Gilbert Burns[/autotag], what makes the most sense for the division?
Edwards is currently on a streak of nine wins with one no contest. Covington is coming off a win over former champion [autotag]Tyron Woodley[/autotag], but he hasn’t been as active as his peers. Burns just defeated [autotag]Stephen Thompson[/autotag] at UFC 264, but how much more work does he need to do to earn another crack at the title? Where does the BMF title winner [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] stand in all of this?
Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of George Garcia, Matthew Wells, Nolan King, and host John Morgan play matchmaker for the division.
