Vicente Luque says clash of styles against Stephen Thompson is ‘excellent’ for the fans

Rising UFC welterweight contender Vicente Luque can’t wait to be in the Octagon for the biggest fight of his career yet. However, the ‘Silent Assassin’ does not believe in changing his style entirely to secure the win, not even against former title challenger Stephen Thompson.

In an interview with Combate, the 27-year-old did explain he studied Thompson’s game, and believes he only needs to adapt some of the things he already does in order to emerge victorious, as opposed to changing his essence.

“This is what I did, a lot of training sessions emulating Thompson’s style, but at the same time I focused a lot on my own strong suits,” Luque said.
