UFC welterweight Vicente Luque picked up his seventh finish in the octagon at UFC 229, stopping Jalin Turner inside four minutes.

There’s a clear trend in Luque’s career – either he finishes an opponent, or they beat him on points. Mostly, it’s the former.

But there’s one thing conspicuously absent on Luque’s resume, and that’s ranked opposition. Since his turn on “The Ultimate Fighter 21,” he’s struggled to attract marquee names.

Perhaps they looked at his resume.

Soon, Luque told MMAjunkie Radio, negotiations will begin for his next fight. And this time around, he hopes he’ll break through and get a big fight.

“There are some big guys that aren’t ranked, but that I’d be willing to fight,” he said. “Maybe Carlos Condit. But a guy that I’ve been looking forward to fighting is (Jorge) Masvidal. He has a style that me and him would put on a great fight for the fans. It would definitely be a knockout.”

Condit (30-12 MMA, 7-8 UFC) currently is booked to face Michael Chiesa (14-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) at UFC 232. But Masvidal isn’t taken.

Masvidal (32-13 MMA, 9-6 UFC), a decade-plus veteran, has succeeded in getting star fighters to sign on the dotted line. He knocked out Donald Cerrone, then got fights with Demian Maia and Stephen Thompson. The latter two didn’t go his way, but it set him on a new path.

Only as of late, Masvidal has had a similar problem as Luque, waiting by the phone until a good opportunity arises. A callout from Leon Edwards didn’t materialize, so he took a gig on a reality show. Recently, he volunteered to fight Nate Diaz when Dustin Poirier withdrew from UFC 230 (via Twitter).

Masvidal is just the kind of opponent Luque needs to take his career to the next level. The only question is if Masvidal agrees.

“That’s a fight that I would really like to have, and I can see it as a co-main event, or even a main event on a Fight Night,” Luque said.

Even if Masvidal and Condit don’t come forward, Luque said it’s his new goal to finish every opponent until something changes. After all, that’s all he can control.

“I’m always having exciting fights,” he said. “That’s my style, and I show that to the fans and the UFC. I don’t know how much more I can do but to get in there and do the best fights I can do.

“I’m going to keep finishing guys, even if they’re top-15, or out of the top-15. That’s my mission: Keep finishing guys, and show the UFC what I’m capable of.”
