Travis Kelce Admits He Sometimes Doesn't Wash His Feet Following Jason's Confessionwill be a war -- and he says he's ready to flatline the Stockton-born MMA star -- but he's also savoring the moment ... as the 32-year-old welterweight says the 40-year-old actually inspired his fighting style!
Luque and Diaz are set to square off in the Octagon on August 3 in Abu Dhabi at UFC on ABC 7 -- Nick's first fight since he lost toHe continued ..."I've always kind of, his fight style always inspired me, you know, walking forward, putting on the pressure, trying to break his opponent, you know, looking not only to finish, but really to dominate, like to break. It's the mentality, who wants it more? And that's something I always try to bring to my fights and to my style.

"Man, it's got to be a war with him, you know, and that's what I see. He's tough. He always has cardio. It's his background, you know with all the triathlon and all that. I know that he has cardio. I know he has a tough chin. I know he has the will to fight."
