News 🚨 BREAKING: Vicente Luque vs Joel Alvarez for #UFCRio on October 11

[AMAZINGUFC]

CHANGE

Vicente Luque has a new opponent at UFC Rio.

Santiago Ponzinibbio is out of the October 11th event and will be replaced by Joel Álvarez, who will make his 77kg debut.




Unfortunately for me he will be at UFC Rio, but replacing another athlete.

 

[Ares Black]

I mean, I guess so

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Oh no, poor Vicente…

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Luque reminds me of Magny... Had a few fights looking like he was going to shoot up the ladder... then would just randomly start losing.

 

[Whitestallion]

Luque is going end this quick.

 

[JoeRowe]

Pretty solid co-main, wondering who the UFC can get to suit Charles request of being a similar fighter to Fiziev. I was thinking Pitbull could fit the bill, and he's Brazilian.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I think Alvarez starches Luque. Vicente has been shot for a while despite being young.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Oh man, Alvarez is going to put a beating on Luque :/

 

[ChrisBenoit]

This is a better fight. Joel probably finishes him early

 

[CieloLuce]

Luque brain going smush smush.

 

[Tweak896]

Shame we never got to see him mixed with top LWs before he had to move up. That whole division is so fucked if you're not already top 5.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Why is Alverez moving up?

 

[mkess101]

Why is Alverez moving up?

He's too damn big to make 155

 

[Kratos94]

Luque probably loses. He is past it. When Buckley and Holland finish you, it's probably time to call it quits.

 

[Khaosan]

Luque probably gets stopped here.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I've always supported my boy Joel at LW, and even though I'm a little worried for the guy a weight up... Let's fucking go!

Vicente the first victim

 

[El Casualito]

Nice to see Joel get a big name

 

[Substance Abuse]

Luque is a great guy. He should retire. He might catch a sub here, but I think he's getting finished.

 

[CC27]

Good to see Alvarez back. Should be fun while it lasts.

 

[FEDORFAN44]

I've always supported my boy Joel at LW, and even though I'm a little worried for the guy a weight up... Let's fucking go!

Vicente the first victim

I think he will have a hard time with wrestlers but this is a good fight for him in my opinion
