Vicente Catta Preta Luque[7] (born November 27, 1991) is a Brazilian and American professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of August 27, 2024, he is #14 in the UFC welterweight rankings.[8]
Background
[edit]Luque was born in Westwood, New Jersey, on November 27, 1991, to a Brazilian mother and a Chilean father.[5] His maternal grandmother was a diplomat, and as a result, his mother was mostly raised in Chile, where she met and married his father before relocating to the United States. Luque was raised trilingual, speaking Portuguese, Spanish and English.[9] Luque began training in various forms of martial arts as a youngster, initially karate at the age of three.[10] When Vicente was six, his parents separated and he moved to Brazil with his mom, where he continued training karate until the age of ten.[10] After a spell with soccer, he started training in Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu as a teenager before transitioning to mixed martial arts in 2008.[10] In 2021, he was promoted to black belt in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Luta Livre on the same day.[11]
Mixed martial arts career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Luque made his professional mixed martial arts debut in June 2009. He compiled a record of 7–4–1, competing for various regional promotions in Brazil before trying out for The Ultimate Fighter in early 2014.
