Vicente Luque picked up another big victory last night (Sat. August 10, 2019) inside the Octagon.

Luque bested Mike Perry on the judges’ scorecards after a three-round war. Both men took big damage during the bout, but especially Perry, who had his nose mangled after a nasty knee. After the win, Luque got on the mic and called his shot for his next fight. The Brazilian called for a bout with former title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. (via BJPenn.com)

“I’ve done four fights in less than 12 months now, and I think I’ve proved my point,” Luque said. “I’m ready to fight anybody in the top 10. I know ‘Wonderboy’ doesn’t have a fight lined up right now. I’m up to it in November, December, whenever he wants to. I’m up to go there and throw down with him.”

Calling out Thompson was a good strategy by Luque. “Wonderboy” is one of the biggest names in the division and a two-time title challenger. He comes off a knockout loss to Anthony “Showtime” Pettis, the first of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career.

Should he accept a bout with Luque, he’ll be stepping back into the cage with another proven finisher.

Mike Perry and Vicente Luque just put on some beautiful violence in the UFC Uruguay co-main event.

The show is currently underway as of this writing, and both Perry and Luque put on a Fight Of The Night contender. The pair exchanged heavy leather, both landing massive shots, but it was Perry who was cut up the most from the scrap. He suffered two cuts under both his eyes early in the first round.

As blood continued to gush throughout the continuation of the bout, Perry decided to try and get things to the ground in the third round. He ate a huge knee on his way in, which ultimately mangled his nose. The result was a completely disfigured nose for Perry, which you can check out in the video below:

After the takedown, Luque decided to pull guard and lock in a guillotine choke. As he continued to squeeze, blood gushed out of Perry’s head profusely. He was eventually able to escape, and reigned down shots from the top as the round came to an end.

Ultimately, it was not enough for “Platinum,” who lost via split decision. However, he’ll likely receive a nice bonus for his performance tonight, which was nothing short of spectacular.
