Vicente Luque Says the Crowd Fuels His Fire Ahead of Homecoming Fight

Welterweight Luque, coming off a second-round loss against Kevin Holland in June, said, “The crowd has always been something that boosts me up.” He’ll return to Brazil on October 11 at UFC Rio, now booked against Joel Álvarez after Ponzinibbio withdrew, hoping to use his fans’ energy to power a statement win. Alvarez, unranked, rides a three-fight win streak.
