A biography for Vicente Luquehasn’t been written yet.
“Each fight, no matter if I win or lose, I see several things I can improve.”
“I don't know how to fight at a different pace than going out there and really pushing the pace.”
“I can take a punch, I'm good and will continue exchanging strikes, but I wasn't developing my ability the way I could on the feet. To dodge, to defend, to move, things I started to pay more attention to.”
“People like to watch my style, that's what excites the crowd, and that works well for me because most of the time I get to win my fights and impose my style. But only putting on excited fights isn't enough if you don't have the results.”
“My fights tend to go that way, I manage to find an opening and get a submission or a knockout, but I'm going there ready for a long fight.”
“It's hard for me to train without giving me my best. It only makes me more competitive.”
“I am not a wrestler or grappler. I am a striker.”
“I've been fighting southpaws, so it's a style I'm used to dealing with.”
“I understood from the day I decided to be who I am, I knew that would maybe be a longer path because I'm just not a trash talker. I cannot be. It's just not in me.”
“I've been grappling since I'm 16 years old so it's not something that I'm afraid of.”
“It has always been my style to go for the knockout and submission because I am not afraid to take a risk. Sometimes it doesn't work right away so I try the second, then the third. But I always fight forward. That is how it has worked for me.”
“It's something that I actually enjoy. I have fun grappling.”
“I know where I want to be and the level I want to reach.”
“I think I'm an exciting fighter.”
“You can always keep pushing more and you're going to surprise yourself with where you get.”
“Most of my wins are by finish.”
“I'm not the type of guy that quits for any reason whatsoever.”
“I'll be ready to fight the best 'Wonderboy' - the one that had fantastic fights with Tyron Woodley. I don't expect anything different, and I'll be ready to stop his karate game.”
“Even though I wasn't born here, I feel I'm a 'Brasiliense' because I grew up here, my mother grew up here, and all my friends live here. It's really like my hometown.”
“A rematch with Niko Price draws a lot of interest from the fans because of our styles, and that also interested me.”
