The duel began with both fighters cautiously studying each other, until Kevin Holland threw a kick, Luque blocked the blow, and received a violent sequence of punches from the American. Despite the tense moment, Vicente withstood the pressure, remained standing, and accepted a violent exchange of blows. Although he wobbled and cornered against the cage, the Brazilian managed to land a counter-punch and intimidate his opponent, forcing him to back away. After both fighters had some good moments, the fight became more respectful in the final minutes of the first round.

In the second round of the fight, Vicente ignored his opponent's provocations and continued moving forward. Surprisingly, the American sought the takedown, put the Brazilian on his back and applied Luque's best weapon: an arm triangle. Adjusted, the athlete forced his opponent to tap out.
