Vicente Luque: UFC News: Just a week before the hyped UFC 292 pay-per-view featuring Aljamain Sterling vs. Sean O’Malley, there was a less hyped event between Vincente Luque and Rafael Dos Anjos that took place at Apex Arena. This event delivered exciting moments, including Iasmin Lucindo’s arm triangle submission and Marcus McGhee’s first-round knockout. Meanwhile, the main event showcased a fierce battle between the welterweights, culminating in Luque’s victory by unanimous decision after five intense rounds. As is customary, fans are curious about Luque’s earnings from this triumph. Here’s the breakdown of his earnings from the victory.
How much money Vicente Luque racked from his victory against Rafael Dos Anjos?
During Vegas 78, Luque continued to build his impressive record by defeating another former UFC champion, a fellow Brazilian fighter. Despite returning from a worrisome brain injury and a yearlong hiatus, Luque displayed no signs of rust as he secured a unanimous decision win over dos Anjos.
In the first round, Luque managed to maintain an edge and looked solid throughout. He adopted a more calculated and defensive fighting style for this match, showcasing his ability to fight economically while still putting up a strong performance. And finally Luque emerged victorious over dos Anjos after a grueling five-round battle, securing the win through a unanimous decision with judges’ scores of 49-46, 48-47, and 48-47.
Despite securing a win in the match, Luque didn’t secure the top earnings spot. According to reports, it was Rafael Dos Anjos who took home the highest payout, headlining the main event. On the other hand, Luque is anticipated to trail closely behind as the second highest-compensated fighter, thanks to his role in this main event clash.
According to sportspayouts, the Welterweight contender Luque earned a guaranteed $216,000 for this weekend’s fight. Additionally, his win bonus has the potential to significantly boost his earnings by at least $50,000. Meanwhile, Dos Anjos is poised to secure a guaranteed payout of $321,000 for this weekend’s fight. Despite his loss, he still walks away with the largest purse among the fighters.
