“What I think about this fight is that Jalin is not a standout in the UFC, but it's a fight I took two weeks ago, against an opponent who doesn't have video, there's no way to know much. It's a dangerous fight for a guy who's coming off two wins like me. I didn't care about that, I knew that a victory in such a big event would be the difference. The UFC values those who do this kind of thing. The ranking… I am ranked regardless of what the ranking says. I feel like this, ready to fight anyone in the top 15 or the champion. I'll be up there soon. Masvidal is a striker, he likes to go to fight like me, it’s a perfect fight for me”, declared Vicente, in an interview with the Combate website.
At just 26 years old, Luque is emerging as one of Brazil's main promises in Ultimate. A participant in TUF 21, the Brazilian native guarantees that his aggressive style is always an added attraction for fans, a characteristic that has seen him achieve four knockouts and three submissions in the UFC.
“It's my style, I go in there not to knock out, ready to fight three rounds. But my style is forward, if I see a chance to connect the blow, I will play hard, to knock him out. The same thing if the guy puts me down, I'll believe in the hand triangle, the guillotine. It's my instinct, my nature. That's why I thought it wouldn't last the three rounds and that's actually how it was. Jalin was a tough guy, he showed a lot of quality on my feet, he's fast, technical, but he made a difference in the category. He fights at 70kg, at 77kg it's a very different category for him. The hand went in, he couldn't stay up and I ended up not letting him recover and I came away with the victory,” he concluded.
