You can tell Luque does his tape study with how he’s both targeting Perry’s legs and feinting/letting him walk into counters…

Perry takes a one-two and then pops Luque with a straight right #UFCUruguay

Perry is cut. Luque with the leg kick. Perry with the push kick. Perry with the flurry!!! All heavy shots, Luque had his hands up but those still hurt! #UFCUruguay

Perry threw more, but I feel like only a couple landed. Lurie seemed to be landing pretty clean when he threw. I would give the RD to Luque

Perry swinging hard but Luque keeps his hairs up and stays focused. 10-9 Luque https://t.co/TtifyLdVNE

Luque told me he didn’t want this fight to be a gritty, Barberena-like affair, but that he’d be ready if it ended up like that. Well…

Perry is now cut on the bridge of his nose #UFCUruguay

That uppercut really got Luque’s attention… Perry should look for more of that considering how committed to the shell Luque is tonight.
— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) August 11, 2019
No clue who won that RD. Both had good moments.
— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) August 11, 2019
This fight is so close and absolutely wild!
I have it 19-19 going into the third.

Luque's kicks are bothering Perry.

Perry just flipped off the crowd while clinching up with Luque. Hilarious. #UFCUruguay

Perry takes him down and Luque locks in a guillotine. Bloody is pouring out from Perry, all over Luque and the canvas #UFCUruguay
