Daniel Pineda is a 41-fight veteran who makes his return to the octagon after going unbeaten in six bouts over the past couple of years. For Herbert Burns, who meets him at UFC 252 on Aug. 15, “The Pit” brings more to the table than division champion Alexander Volkanovski.
“To tell you the truth, I think he’s more dangerous than Volkanovski,” Burns said in an interview with MMA Fighting. “I think it’s a really tough fight but I want to be the champion so I can’t choose opponents. I have to run through everyone they send my way.
