Damian Pinas

Damian Pinas, fighting out of Suriname with a 9-1 professional record, is an orthodox-stance middleweight standing 6'1" with a 79-inch reach who has established himself as a pure striking threat. The 22-year-old "Baba Yaga" operates as a volume striker with elite finishing power, landing 7.50 strikes per minute at 56% accuracy while absorbing just 3.75 per minute and defending 56% of incoming strikes.

Pinas shows zero takedown attempts across his career—a complete commitment to striking exchanges—while maintaining perfect takedown defense at 100%. His knockout score of 57.3 reflects his devastating finishing ability, evidenced by back-to-back first-round finishes: a TKO via doctor's stoppage against Vitor Costa on September 30, 2025 (1:46), and a knockout of Wes Schultz on February 28, 2026 (2:30).

With a 2-0 record from recent fights and an undefeated current streak, Pinas remains unranked but has positioned himself as a dangerous prospect in the middleweight division through aggressive, efficient striking and an uncanny ability to end fights early. His next assignment will determine whether he's ready for ranked competition or needs further seasoning against mid-tier opposition.
