The post Five Biggest Takeaways From UFC Chile appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
The UFC’s first-ever event in Chile ended up being better than initially advertised, as the relatively low-key card delivered in terms of excitement.
Contenders put on huge performances, prospects emerged to become contenders themselves, and the entire card featured a handful of brutal finishes. What more can you ask for from a free card on FOX Sports 1? Not much, but overall the event most likely didn’t drive the needle in terms of exposure.
Regardless, there were some great finishes and some great victories from many of the less heralded fighters on the card. Let’s take a look at the five biggest takeaways from the UFC’s first foray into Chile.
Brazilian-American Vincente Luque scored another emphatic first-round knockout victory against Chad Laprise to open up the main card, sending the Chilean crowd into a frenzy.
Luque has somewhat quietly stayed under the radar at welterweight, despite the fact that the man is a known finisher who sports a 6-2 UFC record. Luque has a penchant for D’arce and anaconda chokes and knockout power in both hands, and seems destined to become a contender at this rate.
Luque’s first-round KO over Laprise was a big statement for The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) alum and he should be inching his way to a top 10 opponent with performances like this.
Luque vs. Mike Perry seems appropriate for both men.

Woodley had an intriguing reaction to Usman’s comments.

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley had a close eye on the UFC Chile main event.
Not only because it was an important fight for the division to which he rules but also because he served as an analyst for the broadcast. Woodley is coming off recent shoulder surgery but is back in the gym training.
The champ has stated publicly in the past that he doesn’t think there are any clear contenders in the division right now.
Woodley suffered a partial labrum tear early in his recent title defense over Demian Maia, which he won by decision. Woodley has been a fighting champion as he has defended it twice in 2017 with winning decisions over Stephen Thompson and Maia.
This tied with three other fighters for the most active 2017 schedule by a UFC champion.
As seen in the main event of UFC Chile on Saturday, May 19, 2018, at Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile on FOX Sports 1, Usman was able to defeat the former title contender by unanimous decision.
Usman spoke with the FOX crew after his big win over Maia and made it known that he wants a crack at Woodley for his title.
“Hey, champ: You know my social media hasn’t changed since I got in the game five years ago,” Usman said (transcript courtesy of MMA Junkie).
“Welterweight, and I’m coming for that gold strap. And with that performance, even with some handicaps, no one can deny that I’m definitely top five right now in the division.”

This led to Woodley firing back at Usman and made it clear that there are some holes in Usman’s game, which he is more than willing to expose if the UFC ended up booking them against each other for the welterweight title.
“Kamaru Usman, congratulations,” Woodley said. “I don’t ever want to take away the credit. Demian Maia is a game opponent. Me as the champion, I’m always welcoming any challenger. Just make it to that point, I’ll be on the other side of the octagon.
I did see a couple things that if you do against me, you might end up waking up with the smelling salt. But hey, hats off to you. Great job. Just being real.”
