Pinas (9-1) has 2 recorded UFC fights, both first-round knockouts — Wes Schultz in February and Cesar Almeida at UFC 329 in July. At 24 he holds an 82.8 composite, a 100.0 chin rating, 100.0 momentum and maximum 10.0 scores for striking and pressure, all derived from under eight minutes of cage time. The sample is too small to treat any of it as established.
Pulyaev (10-4) is 1-3 in four recorded UFC fights, with decision losses to Christian Leroy Duncan and Ateba Gautier and a first-round submission defeat to Nursulton Ruziboev in June. His one win is a second-round knockout of Nick Klein in August 2025. He is 29, a southpaw, with 43.3 momentum and a 43.0 performance average.
Pinas' 82.8 composite is the highest on the card and comes from two first-round knockouts
Pinas has never seen round two in the UFC; Pulyaev has been the distance twice
Pulyaev's 0.5 volume score against Pinas' 2.0 — neither man throws much
Pulyaev's decision loss to Ateba Gautier in January, on a card where Gautier also fights
A southpaw with 7.6cm of height against an orthodox fighter with 2.6cm more reach
Two recorded fights is not a basis for an 82.8 rating; if Pinas is dragged into round three there is no evidence about what happens
Pulyaev's 84.0 chin has only been broken by a submission, and he took Christian Leroy Duncan and Ateba Gautier the distance
Pinas' grappling is entirely unmeasured, and Pulyaev has 4 recorded UFC fights of experience to Pinas' 2
