Vicente Luque

“My arsenal is very solid, I won't change who I am for anybody.”

“I always see every opponent as a tough guy to beat.”

“I knew Woodley was a legend, a champ, He really hits hard.”

“For me, Nate is a really dangerous guy that I will never underestimate.”

“I finish fights. When I see the opportunity, I go for it.”

“I was going to war for many years, I was brawling too much.”

“Many people talk about fear but do not want to feel it. For me it is about courage. Without fear there is no courage. It shows you are afraid of something but you can overcome that.”

“Fighting is always risk, but I feel the more risk I take, the more reward I'm going to get from that.”

“Fighting in front of people that maybe never have seen me fight before is something that motivates me.”

“I've got to be motivated. I've got to fight whoever I've got to fight because in my mind and in my heart, I know I am going to get that title fight and I am going to be a UFC champion.”

“I wanted to fight Masvidal. I think that fight would be a banger. Our styles match up really good.”

“Nate shines when guys come to fight, come really to finish a fight or go at their opponent.”

“I'm very calm, and at the same time I always give my 100 percent to MMA.”

“Fans prefer a stand-up fight. But the ground is always the plan B and I'm ready to use it if I need it and get a submission.”

“It's never easy to find opponents that immediately say 'yes' when they're offered a fight with me.”

“The reason I fight is because I love this sport and I don't want easy fights, to fight in my comfort zone.”

“There's a reason why I'm here, and it's not just for me. It's not just because of my will and my dream, it's more than that. It's so I can be an example and show people who don't believe in miracles or that things can change.”

“When I lived in the U.S., I spoke Portuguese with my mother and grandmother, Spanish with my father and his family, and English with my friends. When we moved to Brasilia, my mother started teaching English, and she made me speak English with her since I could speak Portuguese with everyone else.”

“People will want to do that do me, take me down and just hold me there to score a few points round after round.”

“Nate has great cardio. The longer the fight goes the better for him, so it's a perfect guy to test me, to see if I can go 10 rounds. I want the challenge, and that motivates me a lot.”
