Luque is one of the most prominent names in the UFC Welterweight division. The Brazilian fighter made his UFC debut against Michael Graves on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs Blackzilians Finale. He lost that fight by unanimous decision but since then he absolutely tore the division down.

Luque holds a professional record of 21-7-1 and after his loss in the Ultimate Fighter finale, he put on an impressive four-fight win streak before he faced a loss against Leon Edwards on UFC Fight Night: Manuwa vs Anderson. But after that loss, he put on a six-fight win streak before he faced one more loss against Stephen Thompson at UFC 244.
