Vicente Luque

"The Silent Assassin". That's what they call Vicente Luque, and is part of the UFC welterweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 37 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

A submission threat first and always — 10 taps forced in 24 wins. Every exchange on the mat carries a trap door.

Last time out he beat Kelvin Gastelum (Submission (Anaconda Choke) R1) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.

Next up: Tresean Gore at UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Machado Garry on August 16, 2026. Circle the date.
