Impact The entire world thought this was going to be a slugfest between two power punchers. So, of course, Pinto flipped the script entirely and leaned on his wrestling in what ended up being an easy win. He landed 3-of-4 takedowns in the bout. He was credited with 7:28 worth of control time in a fight that lasted a shade over nine minutes. The total strike count was 87-4 in Pinto's favor. There's a real chance this outcome was simply the result of Mario seeing a hole in Diniz's defense, but the display of even minor grappling abilities will serve Pinto well moving forward.
