Picks up decision win in debut
Pinedo defeated Devin Powell via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night 140 on Saturday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
ANALYSIS
Pinedo was giving ground for most of this fight but was able to score often with counters and blitzing attacks, while his opponent would occasionally land a body kick or knee strike in the clinch. A late replacement for this fight, Pinedo is a heavy puncher who can throw in combination but may have trouble against better strikers going forward if he allows himself to be so easily pressured. He improves to 16-4-1 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.

To make UFC debut in Argentina
Pinedo will take on Devin Powell in a lightweight matchup at UFC Argentina on Nov. 17, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pinedo took his lumps early on in his career, but is 6-0 in his last six bouts dating back to 2016, with each win being earned by way of stoppage. The Peru native had been competing primarily in South America-based promotions, but will now look to cash in on the opportunity of a lifetime in the UFC against Powell, who is 1-2 with the company.
