Damian Pinas

Picked on a pure power argument -- the analyst says even though he isn't the more technical striker, he doesn't think it matters given the raw power available to him.

A good striker whose raw physicality the analyst calls off the charts, even if not the most technical fighter in the cage. Very good power backed by long, lanky arms that let him land from further away than expected, and he picks his shots well despite the lack of polish. Decent grappling that defends upper-body takedowns well but struggles more against lower-body entries; he's willing to work back to his feet and has some basic sweeps, though nothing high level.

Picks the underdog on a clear grappling and cardio path, expecting him to wear the bigger puncher down and find a finish.

Pinas holds a clear power advantage and picks his shots well behind long, straight punches, and defensively he has a real answer for upper-body takedown attempts, using a strong whizzer to stuff them. His weakness is defending shots at his hips and legs, where he gets off balance more easily, though his physical strength and some functional sweeps help him scramble back to his feet when he's in trouble. His power carries real weight, but the matchup on the ground favors the other guy.
