Vicente Luque added that if either of the Diaz brothers ever want to fight him, all they have to do is give 'The Silent Assassin' a call. Even if Luque is the champion, he says he would still like to fight either Nate or Nick Diaz.
Luque added that he has a lot of respect for the Diaz brothers' style and admires both men greatly.
The UFC welterweight even mentioned how both Nate and Nick Diaz are putting their chins at risk in order to get a knockout victory in a fight.
"So I think it's going to be a great fight and man, Diaz, any of the Diaz, whenever they want to fight me, they can just call me. If I'm the champion, it doesn't matter what kind of level I'm fighting at, I will be willing to fight them because I got a lot of respect for their style, I admire their style. You know they just go in there in their game and they always are looking for that knockout even putting their chin out at risk and risking themselves getting knocked out to get a knockout and it kind of resembles what I try to do."
