Luque lost to Kevin Holland via submission (brabo choke) at 1:03 of Round 2 at UFC 316 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Luque has been having issues with better competition for years now and this was the latest example of that. He was simply outworked by Holland on the feet in Round 1 before making a crucial mistake early in Round 2. Vicente put forth a lazy kick attempt and Holland caught it and threw him to the ground. He then left his neck exposed in his attempt to get up. Luque, who will be 34 years old in late November, has alternated wins and losses in his last five fights dating to August 2022. Expect him to hover around the .500 mark moving forward if the UFC isn't careful regarding the level of competition they match him up against.

Taking on Holland

April 18, 2025
Luque will take on Kevin Holland in a welterweight bout at UFC 316 on June 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Luque is coming off a bounce-back win against Themba Gorimbo, disposing of the fighter via an Anaconda Choke in the first round of a bout back in December. Now, he'll look to stack momentum and victories against an opponent in Holland who is also coming off a much-needed victory.

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.
