Jesus Pinedo is eager to finally step in the cage, especially because the circumstances are much different.
Pinedo (23-6-1), who just a few years ago was one of the biggest stories in MMA, returns Thursday against Adam Borics (19-2) in a 2025 PFL World Tournament 1 featherweight quarterfinal fight in Orlando, Fla. “El Mudo” hasn’t competed since Nov. 24, 2023, the night he made history by crowning himself PFL featherweight champion and taking home the $1 million prize.
Also becoming the first Peruvian fighter to win a major belt in MMA.
