Brazilian UFC welterweight Vicente Luque did not hide his emotions after the victory over the eminent compatriot Rafael Dos Anjos in the main event of the UFC on ESPN 51 tournament, which took place today in Las Vegas.
This performance was the first for the 31-year-old fighter since a heavy knockout defeat from Jeff Neal in August last year, which turned into a brain hemorrhage for him.
“I was not afraid of anything, except that I would no longer be able to do this. I am living proof that miracles do happen. Thank the Lord, he healed me and made me better. I came back and beat the former champion in his own game - in a five-round fight. He has tremendous experience in such battles, but I went out and did my job.
Now I intend to break into the title race. I want to reach the top opponent, climb into the top five, and then even higher, ”Luke said.
