During the UFC 260 virtual media day, Vicente Luque told Sportskeeda what his goal is following a win over the former UFC welterweight champion. While 'The Silent Assassin' refused to reveal a potential name he would like to fight next, Luque certainly knows the position he will be in if he manages to beat Woodley.
"Yeah, I think a win over Woodley right now is gonna set me up to fight somebody in the top five. You know, I think that's a big thing but my focus is on this fight. I cannot say a name, I don't know who I'm going to face after this. But definitely, a win over a guy who has been champion is gonna set me up for great things."

Heading into this weekend's UFC 260 pay-per-view, Tyron Woodley has already lost his last three fights. 'T-Wood' is almost in a must-win situation against Luque and will look to bring the fight to the Brazilian.
However, with two wins in 2020, Vicente Luque will definitely be another tough test for Woodley. A win for the former could mark the beginning of a journey towards a title shot for Luque but for Woodley, things could go horribly wrong if he ends up losing his fourth fight in a row.
Vicente Luque will aim for another dominant win this Saturday
Vicente Luque will be aiming to register a big win for himself in the welterweight division this weekend. The No. 10 ranked welterweight knows for a fact that he has the opportunity to further push himself as a top contender if he beats a former champion.
Luque and Woodley will meet in the co-main event of UFC 260. The card will be headlined by Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou in a rematch for the UFC heavyweight title.
