Aruba’s own Damian Pinas has shared an important message with his supporters regarding the twists and turns of his professional journey. Originally set to fight on August 12, Pinas faced an unexpected setback when his P1 visa was not processed in time. This unfortunate delay prevented him from competing as planned, forcing his team to quickly explore new ways to maintain momentum in his career.
During that search, Pinas secured a title shot in Brazil, proving once again that determination and persistence can open new doors. His team continued working tirelessly to keep him active in the sport, and their efforts have recently paid off.
The UFC reached out once again, offering Pinas a new opportunity with a scheduled fight on September 30. This marks another big step for the talented fighter from Aruba, who has been eager to showcase his skills on the international stage.
In his message, Pinas took a moment to directly address his loyal supporters. He acknowledged the challenges of the constant postponements and expressed his heartfelt gratitude for their patience and encouragement. He also shared his faith that, with God’s will, he will finally step into the octagon on September 30.
For Pinas, this fight is more than just another bout. It is a chance to represent Aruba, to reward the fans who have stood by him, and to continue building a career fueled by resilience, faith, and determination.
