What Should Be Next for Vicente Luque After UFC 316?6 days ago
UFC

Vicente Luque suffered a setback at UFC 316 on June 7, 2025, submitting to Kevin Holland’s D’Arce choke in the second round in Newark, New Jersey. Despite a strong first round where he rallied with counters, Luque couldn’t keep up with Holland’s grappling in the second, dropping to 1-2 in his last three fights. At 33, with a UFC record of 16-7 and a reputation for exciting finishes, Luque remains a dangerous welterweight but needs a rebound to stay in the top 15 conversation.

Next up for Vicente Luque should be a welterweight bout against Michael "Venom" Page. Page, ranked #15, is coming off a unanimous decision win over Sharabutdin Magomedov at UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Imavov on February 1, 2025, rebounding from a loss to Ian Machado Garry. Known for his unorthodox striking and flair, Page offers a compelling stylistic clash with Luque’s aggressive pressure and finishing ability.

This fight, potentially for a Fight Night main card in late 2025, would test Luque’s ability to close distance against Page’s elusive movement. A win could solidify Luque’s standing, while Page aims to build on his momentum against a proven veteran.
