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.

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' grappling is entirely unmeasured, and Pulyaev has 4 recorded UFC fights of experience to Pinas' 2
