3. Vicente Luque earns another shot
[autotag]Vicente Luque[/autotag] is one of the most consistent finishers in the UFC. It’s actually quite amazing. His knockout of Randy Brown marked the 11th stoppage in his 12 UFC wins, which is a remarkable rate on this level.
Dissecting Luque’s resume it would be fair to say he’s been able to put away anyone who he is relatively or clearly superior to. It’s when he goes up against the people on the next level that he can’t find that same success.
Luque has just two losses in his past 14 UFC fights. Those came to two-time title challenger Stephen Thompson and top welterweight contender Leon Edwards, who both beat Luque on the scorecards.
He clearly wasn’t ready for those fights then, but perhaps he is now. Luque is just 28 and he is doing all the right things to get back to the opportunities where he failed before. It might not happen next fight, but if Luque continues to beat opponents as he’s been doing, his chance to fight top competition is going to come back around.
