Vicente Luque’s submission victory over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley could go down as the biggest victory of his career.
Luque entered UFC 260 on the heels of back-to-back wins, setting up a crossover fight against Woodley at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. After losing his title to Kamaru Usman, Woodley’s career took a downturn, losing his next two fights. The encounter with Luque was a do-or-die situation, and “The Silent Assassin” closed the door on Woodley’s UFC career with a first-round D’Arce choke.
Luque (22-10-1 MMA, 15-6 UFC) returns to the octagon at UFC 310. He faces Themba Gorimbo (14-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC), who replaces the originally scheduled Nick Diaz.
UFC 310 (pay-per-view, ESPN 2, ESPN+) will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
