The start of his 2023 season resulted in a loss via split decision to the fighter he will see this November in Braga.
Overall, Pinedo is 2-1 with the PFL, 1-1 with the UFC and 22-6-1 in his career. He is 6-1 over his last seven fights and faced John Makdessi and Devin Powell while signed to the UFC.
PFL 10: Gabriel Alves Braga
Sporting a perfect record at 12-0 and holding a win over Pinedo by split decision, the Tropa Tha-trained Braga should be feeling good about himself entering the SmartCage with a chance to win not only a title, but $1 million.
In the semifinals, Braga downed Chris Wade by split decision to reach this round after also posting a three wins over Marlon Moraes, Pinedo and Ago Huskic since March.
He made his debut with the promotion on the Challenger Series with his decision win over Huskic.
Five of his dozen career wins have been by knockout or TKO with the rest going to the scorecards.
