The 38-year-old initially hailed Luque because of his MMA prowess, saying, “Yeah! I think it would be a war. Vicente is a guy that walks forward. Good ground game, good wrestling. He has very good striking. Uh very good overall well-rounded fighter.” However, he had something bold following his praise.

He further said, “But I don’t think this fight is going decision. I have more experience for five rounds fight. But yeah I am looking forward to the match. Put on a great performance, push the pace, and just be me, be first and I am pretty sure I am going to get a W.”

Dos Anjos’ statement clarified that he was aiming to prevail in the battle. He said that the fight wouldn’t even go to a decision, thus he intended to dominate Luque and knock him out. In fact, as per an MMA legend, Dos Anjos is indeed going to be an uphill climb for Luque at Vegas because of a psychological factor that could hinder Luque.

What could be the psychological barrier in front of Luque?

While expressing his views on ‘The War Room’, MMA legend Dan Hardy laid it straight about a potential obstacle that could hinder the ride for Vicente Luque. Hardy highlighted the genuine chance that Luque would run across a psychological roadblock. He said, “It might trigger that anxiety that he’s got from, any anxiety that he may have from his last fight.”

Well, Hardy intended to highlight Luque’s previous defeat, which came against none other than Geoff Neal last year. Simultaneously, taking on a respected senior and the recent loss that caused some major health issues may prove to be crucial factors in determining Luque’s performance.

However, ‘The Silent Assassin’ would surely look forward to coming back strong. What do you think? Could dos Anjos be able to prove his words? Let us know in the comments.
