Penaz is a talented young man that has a lot of accomplishments. Outside of MMA, Penaz is an established kickboxer. He’s 3-1 in Glory and 23-3 overall with 12 KO/TKOs. In MMA he’s 7-1 and in 2020 he won the Oktagon Underground tournament at light heavyweight. Penaz fought last season on the Contender Series but lost to SD Dumas.

Penaz is a sniper shooting explosive rounds. Penaz does a great job fighting at his preferred range. He uses a long jab keeping opponents at the end of his punches. His one-two (in his case being the right-left) is deadly. All combined with his shot placement and hand speed. Penaz can be too comfortable in the pocket, but luckily he mostly fights in-and-out. He’s yet to end a fight with a kick but he’s insanely quick throwing the head kick. Penaz is a dangerous striker that can finish the fight at any point.
