Gets right back in win column
Luque defeated Themba Gorimbo via technical submission (D'arce choke) at 0:52 of Round 1 at UFC 310 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
We last saw Luque in Atlantic City in late-March, at which pointed he was being destroyed from start to finish by Joaquin Buckley. He rebounded here in spectacular fashion. Never known for his one-punch power, Luque dropped Gorimbo with a short right hand before immediately jumping down the mat and clamping on the choke. Themba was tapping out moments later, and the finish would go on to earn Luque a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Now 33 years of age, Luque's 2-3 record in his last five fights is ugly, but those defeats came against Buckley, Geoff Neal and current UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad. There's still a pretty good chance he'll win his fair share of fights against middling competition.

Draws Nick Diaz overseas
Luque will take on Nick Diaz in a welterweight matchup at UFC Abu Dhabi on August 3, UFC President Dana White announced via X on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Luque has hit a rough patch of late, dropping three of four fights, albeit all against strong competition. After falling to Joaquin Buckley in March, Luque may still be on the edge of the welterweight rankings, but the UFC recognized he needs a get-right spot. That will come this August, as Luque will face a massive name in Diaz on a globally-recognized card. Luque also happens to be eight years younger than Diaz, who is winless since 2011 and hasn't competed since 2021. There's no doubt the UFC is giving Diaz a massive pay-day to get featured in Abu Dhabi, but expect him to serve primarily as a punching bag for Luque, who will be heavily favored.
