Vicente Luque, Michael Chiesa, UFC 265

Chiesa (18-5 MMA) had entered tonight’s bout sporting a four-fight winning steak, his latest being a drubbing of Neil Magny back in January. ‘Maverick’ had most previously tasted defeated at the hands of Anthony Pettis in a lightweight scrap.

Meanwhile, Vicente Luque (21-7-1 MMA) entered UFC 265 on a three-fight winning streak, his most recent coming by way of submission over former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley back in March. ‘The Silent Assassin’ had won 9 of his last 10 fights overall, ahead of tonight’s pivotal showdown with Chiesa.

Tonight’s Chiesa vs. Luque contest did not make it out of the opening round. After a quick start to the action by both men, Michael Chiesa attempted to take the back of Vicente Luque. The Brazilian was able to scramble free from the position and wound up locking in a d’arce choke during the transition. ‘Maverick’ was quickly forced to tap from the submission.
