Fighting out of Houston, Texas, Daniel “The Pit” Pineda made a name for himself competing on the regional circuit in 2007. At just 26 years old, Pineda quickly showed his explosive athleticism and affinity for finishing his opponents. With a record of 15-7, Pineda finished all 15 of his victories via knockout or submission, earning himself a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters to watch at 145 lbs. The UFC finally took notice of Pineda after stringing together 5 straight stoppages in Legacy FC.
