Media Vicente Luque explains why he agreed to fight an unranked opponent this weekend

[JustforBROCK]

Translation: the UFC doesn't pay shit my friend and it's either take this fight or not get paid and get shit on by March makers from here in out. Easy choice.

 

[d2s]

How did he get cleared?

Great question! The doctor clearly doesn't read Sherdog, if he did he would learn that Luque is apparently far past his prime and shouldn't be fighting. What a dumb doctor, not reading sherdog for medical information. He should have just asked the mod.

 

[Robbocop]

Luque is ranked #11 currently by the way. It's not like putting the #11 fighter vs an unkranked fighter is an unusual situation.

 

[weaselkenievil]

Luque doesn’t have the name value to have a choice. He will fight whoever they put in front of him. He talks like he has a choice in the matter lol.

Luque is not Conor, he doesn’t get to choose his fights.

Wtf does this have anything to do with Conor? Shit posting at its worse.

Conor doesn’t choose his fights either or he’d have fought Diego Sanchez.

War Luque.

Ian Garry should pay attention and learn something from Luque

Not even an Ian fan but you deserve to fight up when you’re on a huge win streak.

Luque wouldn’t be fighting Buckley if he had won his last 6/ was undefeated. He’s lost 2 out of his last 3, doesn’t make sense for him to fight up

 

[mjfan23]

Is he even ranked himself? The other guy should be asked why are you fighting someone ranked so low?

All that aside Vincent brings it and is mostly in entertaining fights!!

 

[usernamee]

Saying anything but that would be awful PR management for him in the position he's in.

Ian Garry should pay attention and learn something from Luque

No he shouldn't. The UFC has these guys exchange brain damage for peanuts, and they toss you in the bin the minute they're done with you.

Garry's pay is atrocious. California (CSAC) still publicly releases purse payouts, so we know Ian only made 55k show to fight live on PPV against Geoff Neal.

His personality is annoying but its a terrible idea to take 'any' fight when you are on a bad contract. This is prize fighting and U Fight Cheap play the game, so should the fighters.

I just busted out laughing so hard sir.
All doctors should just refer to the mods, that way they'll never be wrong lol.

 

[Mickey Mick]

I’m actually very much looking forward to this one. Both guys are beasts at ww.

 

[MeatGrinder]

Bring back Dustin Pague. He will beat the brakes off this man.

Luque talking like he has McGregor sway, he doesn’t.

War Luque.

He’s acting like he can pick his fights. He needs to take a second look at his name value to realize he’s not a Diaz (happy? I didn’t use McGregor)

 

[MDoza]

Luque has only beat lightweights since 2021. He took this fight for a win.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Luque is one of those guys that will be appreciated once he retires.

He always put great shows and ducked nobody.

 

[Mike]

It’s the ones who are always on the back foot in fights who take this bollockless approach and are always saying irritating stuff. Jon, Adesanya etc

And the guys who march forward are generally on point with the things they say


These tacticians are not any better than the guys they beat, they selfishly sacrifice the entertainment value to increase their chances of winning. It’s nothing to do with skill level, it’s a choice.

Lolwut? Yeah guys like Jon and Israel definitely ARE better fighters than guys like Luque. They don't fight like brawlers because they don't have to. That's a tactical advantage. Brawling because it's your only path to victory doesn't make someone braver, it makes them more limited as a fighter.

A bunch of complete children talking about honor. Yeah getting your head smashed in for the lowest amount possible when this is your JOB because you're manly is so honorable.


Idiotic. that's the word they're looking for. Never complaining and being a company man is already stupid. Doing it when you're taking brain damage for a living is next level stupid.
