Luque said this to mmajunkie.usatoday.com about his upcoming fight against Dos Anjos, “I think that that’s a really good thing I’ve got going in this fight, because not only I’m probably the heavier of the two of us, so that’s going to kind of help me in the grappling sense – I’m not the guy that will go more; I believe he’s going to go more for the grappling, so I’m going to have that weight advantage. Maybe if we’re on the fence or if he’s trying to get me down, I think that’s going to be good to have a little bit weight on top of him, but obviously that comes into the speed. Maybe he’s going to have the slight speed advantage. That’s not something that worries me that much because I am pretty quick with my hands and the foot movement, and that’s something I’ve been working even more now. So that’s something that I’m not going to be too concerned about. And the other advantage, I think, is the reach, so I’m going to have also the reach advantage on him. I think it’s mostly going to be how I’m able to use that in my favor.”

The UFC odds on this fight are basically a pick and this fight does look very even. Perhaps dos Anjos has a slight edge, but this fight is really a toss-up. Whenever I see a fight where the odds are close, I look at taking the rounds to go over, unless the two fighters have great finishing ability. Luque is the better finisher, but finishing dos Anjos is no easy task. I think this fight has a good chance to go the distance, so I will take the rounds to go over the total.
