UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko Vs. Carmouche 2 Predictions

2. Vicente Luque Vs. Mike Perry

Make sure you've got some tasty snacks and a cool beverage on hand for the welterweight scrap between Vicente Luque and Mike Perry, as you won't want to miss a single moment of action between these two all-action fighters.

In 11 appearances inside the Octagon, Luque has won nine times, finishing each opponent in the process. The American Top Team product has a killer instinct that not many in his weight class can truly say they have. Not only that, but he can take a punch and remain calm and collected if the fight turns into a brawl. This means he's always in his opponent's face and that be can be a tiring experience for anyone.

Perry is known for being a bit of a wild man inside the Octagon. His brawls with Danny Roberts and Hyun Gyu Lim showed that when it comes to standing and trading, there aren't many who will go all out like Perry. While that style is what he's associated with, he's actually matured as a fighter over the last few years.

His last fight against Alex Oliveira showed a more mature fighter, who instead of trusting in his chin and running head first into danger, picked his moments and executed his gameplan perfectly.

While that was impressive, doing that to a well-rounded technician like Luque will be extremely difficult. He still has deficiencies on the ground and Luque, being the crafty grappler that he is, should take full advantage of this.
