Daniel \u00ab\u00a0The Pit\u00a0\u00bb Pineda \u2014 19 soumissions et une retraite les gants dans l’Octogone<\/h2>\n

Un finisseur n\u00e9 de Dallas<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 6 ao\u00fbt 1985 \u00e0 Dallas, Texas, Daniel Pineda a grandi \u00e0 Waller, une petite ville \u00e0 l’ouest de Houston. C’est son fr\u00e8re qui l’a mis sur le chemin du MMA \u00e0 21 ans, pour canaliser une \u00e9nergie qui aurait pu le mener ailleurs. Bonne pioche : Pineda d\u00e9veloppe rapidement une ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien et construit un style de finisseur pur, \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 l’UFC cherchait exactement ce profil de loup en cage.<\/p>\n

Son bilan professionnel sur 17 ans de carri\u00e8re (2007-2024) : 28 victoires, 17 d\u00e9faites, 3 no contests. Sur ces 28 victoires, 19 sont venues par soumission et 9 par KO. Il n’a quasiment pas laiss\u00e9 d’adversaires debout sur leurs pieds \u2014 17 finishes au premier round au total.<\/p>\n

La mont\u00e9e : champion Legacy FC, porte d’entr\u00e9e vers l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Avant de poser le pied dans l’Octogone, Pineda s’est construit une r\u00e9putation s\u00e9rieuse dans les promotions r\u00e9gionales am\u00e9ricaines. Il d\u00e9croche la ceinture Legacy FC Featherweight en battant Reynaldo Trujillo par soumission le 31 juillet 2010, puis la d\u00e9fend deux fois. Il r\u00e9cup\u00e8re aussi le titre poids l\u00e9ger de Fury FC en cours de route \u2014 deux organisations, deux ceintures, z\u00e9ro d\u00e9cision dans ces combats de titre.<\/p>\n

Deux passages \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Son premier passage \u00e0 l’UFC commence le 20 janvier 2012 lors de l’UFC on FX : Guillard vs. Miller. Face \u00e0 Pat Schilling, Pineda l’exp\u00e9die par soumission en 1 minute 37 au round 1. La suite est plus compliqu\u00e9e : il accumule quelques d\u00e9faites et quitte l’organisation apr\u00e8s un premier stint. Il passe ensuite par Bellator, le PFL et EliteXC avant de trouver le chemin du retour.<\/p>\n

Le retour en grande pompe date d’ao\u00fbt 2020 : \u00e0 l’UFC 252, il surprend Herbert Burns \u2014 un sp\u00e9cialiste br\u00e9silien du grappling cot\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque \u2014 par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round (4:37). Ce r\u00e9sultat lui vaut une nomination pour l’Upset of the Year 2020 et un bonus Performance of the Night. En mars 2023, il ajoute une victoire propre contre Tucker Lutz par \u00e9tranglement guillotine au round 2 (UFC Fight Night, 25 mars 2023), d\u00e9crochant un nouveau bonus Performance of the Night.<\/p>\n

Au total sous la banni\u00e8re UFC, Pineda termine avec un bilan de 5 victoires et 8 d\u00e9faites (plus 1 no contest), avec notamment un bonus Fight of the Night partag\u00e9 avec Alex Caceres (juin 2023) et un autre contre Darren Elkins.<\/p>\n

Retraite les gants pos\u00e9s dans l’Octogone<\/h3>\n

Le 19 octobre 2024, \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 245, le v\u00e9t\u00e9ran de 39 ans affronte Darren Elkins, 40 ans, dans un dernier duel entre deux guerriers en fin de carri\u00e8re. Le combat m\u00e9rite son bonus Fight of the Night \u2014 50 000 dollars chacun. Pineda s’incline aux points, puis d\u00e9pose ses gants dans l’Octogone. Ce geste ne trompe personne : c’est sa fa\u00e7on de dire au revoir. Dix-sept ans de carri\u00e8re, cinq promotions majeures, et un palmar\u00e8s qui parle tout seul.<\/p>\n
