Nova União

He's getting better.

He's at a great gym at Nova Uniao.

I love that gym.

So I don't wanna be the anti-Penas guy, and because, like, now he's racked up enough KOs to a point where, I'm gonna say this flatteringly, he's just starting to actually get good.

arm-And just, boop, and just slit it right then and there, just kinda nonchalant, just boop, and dusted.

Like, uh, MMA is so much better when Nova Uniao strikers are, like, torching dudes in the UFC.

Mm.

Yeah, I agree.

His takedown defense is not there.

Damien Pina is from Aruba, but he spent a lot of time at Nova Uniao over in Brazil.

I would reckon he probably can grapple, and maybe that's a path to victory for him, but more so than that, even if he doesn't, and he probably won't, more so than that is like his kryptonite is his own offensive- or d- defensive grappling, sorry, and I just don't think Pulev has any type of wrestling or jujitsu that he's gonna be able to n- take him down and neutralize him.

Therefore, we've got striker versus striker, and one guy's gonna be running and gunning most of the time.
