Damian Pinas is riding some serious momentum right now. The Baba Yaga just starched Cesar Almeida with a first round punch in July, and before that he flatlined Wes Schultz even faster back in February. Two straight knockouts, both in the first round, both by punches to the head. That's the kind of run that gets people's attention. Andrey Pulyaev just re-signed with the UFC on a four fight deal, which is interesting timing considering he's 1-3 in the promotion.
- Pinas hunting third straight first round knockout
- Pulyaev fighting to save his UFC career after new contract
- Orthodox power meeting southpaw striking in middleweight scrap
If Pinas is gonna get another early finish, it's happening in that first round where he's been absolutely lethal lately.
The Russian southpaw from Storm Shlemenko Fight Team is coming off back to back losses. He got choked out by Nursulton Ruziboev in June, then lost a decision to Ateba Gautier before that. His only UFC win came against Nick Klein last August with a sick body kick finish in round two. This is a classic striker versus striker matchup with Pinas bringing orthodox power and Pulyaev working that southpaw angle. Pinas has been crazy accurate lately, landing 76% against Almeida and 73% against Schultz.
Pulyaev's striking numbers haven't been as clean, sitting around 48% in his decision loss and 65% before getting submitted. The Baba Yaga is hunting for that third straight knockout while Pulyaev desperately needs to snap this skid and justify that new contract. Pulyaev's got his back against the wall here. Another loss puts him at 1-4 in the UFC, and that new four fight deal starts looking real shaky. Meanwhile Pinas is trying to prove those back to back finishes weren't a fluke.
