Vicente Luque has admitted that he has no problem to stand by as a backup for the upcoming welterweight championship bout between UFC champion Kamaru Usman and number one contender Colby Covington.
The rematch is set to take place at UFC 268 on November 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York, US.
Luque, 29, is on a 4-fight winning streak and is fresh off of Submission win over Michael Chiesa.
“I think being a backup would be something interesting,” Luque told TMZ. “Even if I’m not officially a backup, I do plan to stay ready and possibly — I hope nothing happens — but if something happens, I hope I can step in there and save the day. So we’ll see.”
