Vicente Luque spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night 107. Some highlights are below:

On his fight with Edwards: “This is a fight where the UFC is going to see who they are going to put to the next level. Who are they going to put against the top guys and who is going to be in the top 15 eventually? This is definitely a test the UFC is doing with us, and I’m really excited for that.”

On his win streak: “It’s the longest streak I’ve had in my career as an MMA fighter, and for sure it feels great. (I’m) trying to keep focused (and) not let it come to my head. I feel like I’m evolving every fight. That’s what I’m still looking for. I’m trying to learn as (many) new things as I can so I can go out there and show that evolution and fight in a different way.”

On Edwards: “I see a guy that is really well rounded and has been evolving every fight. He started as a boxer. Everyone was scared of his boxing. But he has shown now he has good ground game and good wrestling. He’s very versatile. Whenever he can go to the ground he’ll do it and whenever he needs to stand it up he’s very smart at that.”

On his plan for the bout: “We have similar styles; we start trying to knock each other out and wherever the fight goes to we are looking to finish. I see me finishing this fight somehow. I don’t know if it’s going to be submission or if it’s going to be a knockout, but I see it finishing for sure before those three rounds.”
