Vicente Luque

Vicente Luque, the Brazilian orthodox striker with a 24-12-1 professional record, has built his reputation as a dangerous finisher operating at welterweight. Over his career, Luque lands 4.80 strikes per minute with 50% accuracy while absorbing 5.24 strikes per minute and defending 51% of incoming strikes, reflecting an aggressive, high-volume approach that prioritizes output over defensive efficiency.

His submission average of 0.7 per 15 minutes and knockout score of 15.2 underscore his finishing ability—he has demonstrated this repeatedly with first-round finishes against Hector Urbina (KO, 1:00), Jalin Turner (KO, 3:52), and Belal Muhammad (KO, 1:19). His grappling remains a secondary tool with a 48% takedown accuracy and 59% defense rate.

Recent results have been mixed: Luque secured a submission victory over Niko Price in the second round but suffered a unanimous decision loss to Joel Alvarez in October 2025, following an earlier unanimous decision defeat to Stephen Thompson in 2019. At 32 years old, Luque continues to operate as a streaky competitor whose explosive striking and submission prowess can overwhelm opponents, though inconsistency against elite competition remains a concern as he seeks to reestablish himself in the welterweight rankings.
