Luque vs Buckley odds for UFC Fight Night betting. Picks and predictions for Luque vs Buckley on March 30, 2024.
Joaquin Buckley's a heavy hitter, and our UFC picks are wary of whether Vicente Luque can weather the storm at Fight Night.Joaquin Buckley and Vicente Luque meet at the crossroads in this welterweight clash, serving as the co-main event of this weekend’sBuckley faces his biggest test at welterweight in the experienced Luque, whose performances in recent fights give cause for concern as he faces a young, strong opponent.
Luque is all about tough times, and he’s practically a striking magnet with the sheer amount of punishment he’s taken lately. The Brazilian is an action-heavy fighter whose busy striking complements a solid BJJ game, but he tends to get dragged into brawls where he takes an absurd amount of punishment. When Luque fought Geoff Neal, Neal busted him up so badly that a brain bleed was discovered post-fight, which is one of the worst injuries a fighter can have.
Buckley is the pick. He'll be too strong and able to take advantage of a slowing battler who has seen better days. Luque benefited from Dos Anjos coming in with a terrible game plan that saw him try to grapple, essentially playing to his strengths, and allowing Luque to get through that fight without engaging in the types of brawls we're used to seeing him in.
That doesn't sound like the kind of fight Luque can win at this point. I'm compelled to side with Buckley's youth and size to overwhelm the veteran, and potentially deliver an uncomfortable beating in the process. My best bet for Buckley vs. Luque is Buckley to win by knockout.
