@@rafaelo6198 Not the best but hardly "terrible." He has ~92% finishing rate, with roughly 55% being KOs and 45% being sub. That says on the feet, if you brawl with him, he has the chin and power to KO you; and if you decide to take him down, which elite wrestlers like giant 6'1" Mchael Chiesa (roughly 80% of whose wins are subs) could, Luque still could easily outmaneuver them once on the mat. So, question is, how is Belal going to game plan for such a fighter? People like WB and Leon could do it, because they're taller and more agile, and they never engaged Luque in long stretches of brawling. They also not concerned about moving around. They have the height, speed, agility, and pure striking to stunt Luque, if he pushes too much. Again, what's Belal's game plan? We know he LIKES to pressure; but how's that not going simply play into Luque's style of brawling, where you hit him once and he hits you once, but his punches being much harder, with his chin being better than yours as well? Yes, Belal's pure wrestling is better than Luque's. Even Leon, a non-wrestler, could take Luque down; so that's not the issue, is it? Issue is, do you want to maneuver with Luque on the ground, given his proven BJJ skills?
Luque is my favorite fighter hands down… his accumulation of work inside the cage is unmatched when it comes to violence, persistence, toughness and technique. Plus he’s a Jersey boy at heart! COME ON!

To put that in perspective (in terms of Luque's impressive finishes): Young Thanos, whom until his Burns fight every MMA "expert" was expecting to run through everyone at 170 and 185 in the same night... only has ~90% finishing rate! And he only has 11 fights, with only one real elite opponent, Burns.

tengo un conflicto de interes, Luque tiene sangre chilena y de mis peleadores favoritos, pero Muhammad trabaja con Jaula Bahamondez, ambos competidores son buenísimos y se nota la calidad humana de ambos. que gane el mas mejor nomas
I loved heading Luque story
Keyboard psichology: Vicente is in a much better place mentally. Belal complained a lot and was either salty or putting this pressure on him self to became a champ for his dad, for his brother... Vicente is cool as duck, and he sees past the champ stuff, to became a legend and so on and that is great! And when he talk about being champ is for himself, to conquer he said and then be able to provide for his loved ones. Vicente has an edge imo. Ps: i am biased as it gets. I train in jiu jitsu in Cerrado MMA, besides that Vicente along with Charles Oliveira are my favorite brasilian athletes, so...
Go luque 💪🏻💪🏻
go well my brother
