“All I know is that I’m one of the most, if not the most exciting welterweight fighters out there today. I'm showing everyone what I can do. I finish all my fights. My fights are exciting. And for that reason, I think I deserve a title fight. I'm the only guy in the top five who hasn't fought the champion yet, who hasn't challenged Kamaru (Usman) to a fight yet. He still has a fight against Colby covington, but, I believe that Usman will win this fight. If he does that, I think I would be a great challenge,” said Luque.

Currently in sixth place in the welterweight rankings, Vicente should appear in the top-5 of the category in the next update. The 'Silent Assassin' is in a great phase in his career and has been riding on four consecutive victories. His last setback was for Stephen Thompson, in November 2019. The fighter has an MMA record of 21 wins, seven setbacks and one draw.
