‘He’s not afraid of taking damage’ - Vicente Luque calls out Nate Diaz after latest UFC win

Welterweight knockout artist Vicente Luque just won his 12th fight in the Octagon last Saturday—a vicious KO of Randy Brown, following a perfectly placed clinch knee and a barrage of punches. Now he’s looking for his next challenge. And the ‘Silent Assassin’ set his sights on one of the biggest names in his division, none other than Stockton’s own Nate Diaz.

In an interview with Combate, Luque explained that he wants to fight Diaz because of what he sees as their similarly exciting styles. He cited how both he and Diaz are not afraid of grueling striking battles—something that could mean a ‘Fight of The Night’ war for fans to enjoy.
