Across the supplied record, Luque’s outcomes skew strongly toward finishes. The career summary lists 15 of 16 wins by stoppage (eight by KO/TKO and seven by submission), which suggests that when he wins, it is usually before the final horn. The recent fight log reinforces that pattern with multiple first-round submissions (e.g., over Kelvin Gastelum and Themba Gorimbo) and additional stoppage wins earlier in the sample. His available pace and defense metrics point to a high-contact style. He is listed at 4.8 significant strikes landed per minute (SLpM) and 5.24 absorbed per minute (SApM), alongside 51% striking defense. Taken together, those numbers support an evidence-based inference that many of his fights involve meaningful exchanges rather than low-volume point fighting. Grappling statistics show some offensive and defensive activity: 0.89 takedowns per 15 minutes, 0.7 submissions attempted per 15 minutes, and 59% takedown defense. The mix of submission wins in the fight log supports the idea that his grappling can be a decisive factor, particularly when he is able to bring engagements into finishing positions. Recent form in the snapshot is mixed (wins and losses), but his most recent listed result is a first-round submission win.
