Fabio Pinca (born June 14, 1984) is an Italian-French professional in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts, currently competing under the banner of ONE Championship. A key highlight in his career came in 2010 when he triumphed in the first-ever Thai Fight tournament.

Biography

Originating from Lyon, France, Pinca trains at Gym Boxing St Fons located in Saint-Fons, Lyon, where he is coached by Nasser Kacem. His Muay Thai journey began at age 15, inspired by renowned fighters such as Ramon Dekkers, Dany Bill, Saimai, and Farid Villaume. Demonstrating loyalty and dedication, he has consistently trained at the same gym throughout his career, appreciating the high caliber of coaching and competitive environment it offers.

In addition to his athletic pursuits, Pinca holds a position as an educational facilitator, which allows him a flexible timetable conducive to maintaining his rigorous training schedule.

Pinca ventured into sports promotion in March 2014 by founding STRIKE FIGHT, with its inaugural event taking place in Lyon on June 27, 2014, marking his foray into the business side of combat sports.

Career

Specializing in Muay Thai and embracing its traditional techniques and cultural elements, Fabio Pinca captured the French Muay Thai Champion Class B title in 2004 and earned a bronze medal at the World Muaythai Championships. His achievements include becoming the WPKC European Kickboxing Champion in 2006 and securing the WBC Intercontinental Muay Thai Lightweight title in 2008. In 2009, he was crowned WBC World Muay Thai Champion and went on to win the Isuzu Thai Fight -67 kg Tournament in 2010.

Throughout his career, Pinca has faced prominent opponents such as Attachai, Bovy, Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee, and Saenchai Sor Kingstar. At Thai Fight: Lyon in 2012, he lost a decision bout to Saiyok Pumpanmuang. Later that year at Time Fight 2, he forced a stoppage against Tayfun Ozcan due to an arm injury. In November 2012 at Glory 3: Rome, Pinca was defeated by Alessandro Campagna via unanimous decision in a reserve match where he also suffered a point deduction for excessive clinching.

In February 2013, he secured victory over Yakdam at La Nuit des Titans but was defeated by Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong during a rematch at Best of Siam 3. Notably, earlier in January 2012, Pinca achieved a controversial win against Saenchai at Yokkao Extreme despite having a considerable weight advantage.

At MAX Muay Thai 2 held in June 2013, Pinca advanced to the final after overcoming Diesellek Aoodonmuang but ultimately lost to Victor Nagbe. Later that year, he claimed the first-ever Lion Fight Welterweight Championship by defeating Malaipet Sasiprapa in Las Vegas.

Pinca was set to compete against Buakaw Banchamek for the vacant WMC World Junior Middleweight Championship at Monte Carlo Fighting Masters 2014 but withdrew due to injury. In February 2017, he earned the Rajadamnern Stadium 67 kg title after defeating Manaowan Sitsongpeenong at Best of Siam.

Making his debut in ONE Championship at Heroes of Honor in April 2018 under ONE Super Series Muay Thai regulations, Pinca was defeated by Nong-O Gaiyanghadao via unanimous decision.

Mixed martial arts

Fabio Pinca was originally scheduled to make his mixed martial arts debut against fellow Muay Thai practitioner Sagetdao Petpayathai during ONE Championship: Kingdom of Heroes on October 6, 2018; however, this bout was subsequently removed from the event lineup.

He eventually entered MMA competition at ONE Championship: No Surrender 3 on August 21, 2020, where he was narrowly defeated by Shannon Wiratchai via split decision.
