Lasts 52 seconds in Vegas
Gorimbo lost to Vicente Luque via technical submission (D'arce choke) at 0:52 of Round 1 at UFC 310 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
That will put an end to the Gorimbo hype train in overwhelming fashion. Entering as a -165 favorite, Themba ate a short right hand early on which dropped him. That allowed Luque to clamp on the choke in an instant. Gorimbo ended up going to sleep as opposed to tapping out. While Themba entered having won four straight, and his back story is very well known, his best UFC victory to date came against Niko Price. There was always a chance he would be exposed when the competition level increased. That proved true on this evening.

Luque up next
Gorimbo will fight Vicente Luque at UFC 310 on Dec. 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Gorimbo will be filling in for Nick Diaz, who was forced to withdraw from the event for unknown reasons. The 33-year-old Gorimbo has won each of his last four fights, giving him a significant momentum advantage over Luque, who has dropped three of his last four.

Runs winning streak to four
Gorimbo defeated Niko Price via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Gorimbo improves each and every time out, and this may have been his best performance to date. He completely and thoroughly overwhelmed Price with his grappling game, landing 7-of-9 takedowns for 9:14 worth of control time. Strong and heavy from top position, Price had zero chance of generating any offense off of his back. It's been a long road, but Themba has legitimately improved in recent years. He improves to 4-0 dating back to May 2023 and is a fringe top-15 welterweight at age 33.

Slated to fight Price
Gorimbo will take on Niko Price in a Welterweight showdown at a UFC event on Oct. 12, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS

After losing his first UFC bout to AJ Fletcher, Gorimbo has done nothing but stack victories and will look to push his UFC record to 4-1-0 with a win over Price.
