UFC Vegas 59’s co-main event is shaping up to be an all-time welterweight classic, as Vicente Luque prepares to take on Geoff ‘Handz of Steel’ Neal.

Vicente Luque recently sat down with LowKickMMA to discuss his upcoming fight with Neal. Luque’s most recent performance was a loss to Belal Muhammad, who stifled ‘The Silent Assassin’s’ lethal striking with a something wrestle-heavy approach. However, against Neal, Luque believes he has found an opponent willing to go blow for blow with him in the striking department. Speaking with Mike Owens, he stated that:

“He just pushes forwards. I think that, in a way, is a similar style to me. It’s keeping it simple but going at it. Fighting, actually fighting. That’s what I think is his biggest tool, and at the same what excites me the most about this fight. I know that he’s going to come to fight and that’s something I enjoy. That’s a challenge for me. I know he’s gonna want to take my head off, he’s gonna want to knock me out. Because he trusts his power, he trusts his game. And that’s the same as what I’m gonna be looking to do in that fight.”

Vicente Luque does not that Neal’s southpaw stance may offer him some issues, but it is nothing new to ‘The Silent Assassin.’

“So this is a fight that excites me. I think the trickiest thing he has going for him is the fact that he’s a southpaw. But I think maybe it’s going to be the sixth or fifth southpaw that I’m gonna fight in the UFC… It’s always tricky but it’s something that I’ve lived before.”

“I do anticipate that we’re going to strike. I do think that his style and who he is, at least as a fighter, when I watch him I like to watch his fights, I think he’s not the guy to shy out from a good striking battle. So I think he will come to try and knock me out and see what’s gonna happen.”

Exclusive | Vicente Luque Gives His Prediction For Khamzat Chimaev vs. Nate Diaz: “He Still Can Go Out There & Surprise Everybody”

UFC welterweight contender Vicente Luque has given his take on an upcoming pivotal bout taking place in his own division. Nate Diaz vs. Khamzat Chimaev is set to headline UFC 279 in September, with ‘Borz’ on the precipice of a title shot, whilst his opponent enters the final fight of his UFC contract. Vicente Luque […]

Vicente Luque himself has a fight booked in the welterweight division. ‘The Silent Assasin’ will face off against Geoff Neal in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 59. Ahead of this fight, Luque sat down for a LowKickMMA exclusive interview, where he discussed the upcoming bout between Diaz and Chimaev. He stated:

“I’m always gonna expect Diaz to put on a tough fight. He’s very durable, he has great conditioning. He still has his tricky tools. But I would never put him as favorite for this fight. Not realistically right now, with how the division is moving, with what Chimaev has shown.”

Luque went on to compare Chimaev and Diaz to his teammate, Gilbert Burns:

“Watching the fight against Gilbert (Burns), I know who Gilbert is, I know how tough he is, and Chimaev went in there and survived. At the end of the day he got a win, and that shows a lot. I know how tough Gilbert is. I know that if I were going to say ‘whose at a higher level right now, Gilbert or Nate?’ Gilbert, all day. He’s at a much higher level.”

Luque does admit that Diaz has the potential upset, but is ultimately backing Khamzat Chimaev to get the win:

“I gotta put Chimaev as a favorite. I’m not gonna take Diaz’s tools, he still can go out there and surprise everybody. But if I had to put money, I don’t think I would put it on Diaz.”

Vicente Luque Reveals Who He Has Been Training With To Prepare For Geoff Neal

Vicente Luque will square off his fellow welterweight fan favorite Geoff Neal this weekend in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill. Both Luque and Neal are dangerous strikers who have plethoras of highlight reel KO’s on their records.

In order to prepare for Neal’s clinical southpaw stand-up game, Luque has been specially training with two UFC fighters who are both also southpaws, Danny ‘Hot Chocolate’ Roberts and Takeshi Sato. He stated that:

“I’ve been working a lot with the southpaws, so Danny (Roberts) has been a big guy to help me out a lot. He’s a great southpaw, he has that great striking, so he has been helping me out. And also (Takeshi) Sato. Sato will be fighting on the same night as me, so we’re kind of in the same timeline physically, we are both in shape. So he has been helping me a lot also because he is southpaw as well.”
