His last victory contained in the cage was back in 2011, where he placed on a powerful display against B.J. Penn.
Luque has not fought himself since losing in horrifying fashion against Joaquin Buckley. But along with his most up-to-date win coming against Rafael Dos Anjos just last 12 months, he’s actually expected to have considerably less cage-rust than Diaz if the competition does indeed come to fruition.
