“I was just patient and didn’t rush to finish it. I knew he was a great grappler. I understood that sooner or later he would knock me down, take my back. Not because I’m easy to knock down, no. I plow so as not to find myself in these positions, but simply because I am a realist, and he is a very strong grappler. But I’m also confident in my grappling.

As I said before the fight, I have a large arsenal on the ground. I have been practicing jiu-jitsu since I was 16, and I also practice luta livre. So when I close D’Arce, the opponents will not get out. I proved it in the fight with Chiesa.

I felt that everything was going according to plan, I constantly changed the racks to puzzle him. He fights in a left-handed stance – it’s sometimes hard to fight with such guys. Chiesa caught me with a heavy two and smashed my face a little, but it wasn’t very hard. I have a strong jaw, so he didn’t shake me,” Vicente Luque said in an interview with ESPN.
