About
Action-first welterweight finisher with one of the most dangerous submission games in the division.

Vicente Luque is one of welterweight's most reliable sources of violence, a Brazilian finisher who pairs heavy, pressuring boxing with a genuinely elite submission game built around the guillotine and D'Arce choke. His knockout of former champion Tyron Woodley and a long list of Performance of the Night bonuses made him a fan favorite and a top contender.
A brain-bleed health scare threatened to derail his career, but Luque returned and beat former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos to prove he still belonged. He's traded wins and losses with the division's best ever since, and through it all has kept the same mandate: come forward and look for the finish.
Why fans love Luque
He hunts the finish every time out, mixing knockout power with slick submissions for consistently exciting fights.
