Background

Luque was born in Westwood, New Jersey, on November 27, 1991, to a Brazilian mother and a Chilean father. [5] His maternal grandmother was a diplomat, and as a result, his mother was mostly raised in Chile, where she met and married his father before relocating to the United States. Luque was raised trilingual, speaking Portuguese, Spanish and English. [9] Luque began training in various forms of martial arts as a youngster, initially karate at the age of three. [10] When Vicente was six, his parents separated and he moved to Brazil with his mom, where he continued training karate until the age of ten. [10] After a spell with soccer, he started training in Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu as a teenager before transitioning to mixed martial arts in 2008. [10] In 2021, he was promoted to black belt in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Luta Livre on the same day. [11]
