Sean Pero Set for International Showdown vs. Danimar Pastusak at NAF 8 in Brazil
On December 13th, Israel’s young MMA prospect Sean Pero steps into one of the toughest environments in the sport — fighting a Brazilian on Brazilian soil under the Nascimento Arena Fight (NAF) banner.
Pero, a developing athlete with improving stand-up and a growing competitive IQ, takes on Danimar Pastusak, a much more experienced Brazilian fighter whose Tapology record shows a long list of battles against tough regional opponents. Danimar is known for forward pressure, durability, and years of cage time — the kind of veteran presence that tests young prospects.
Pero enters this matchup as the faster, more explosive striker. His style is built on sharp reactions, clean combinations, and disciplined posture. Training footage from recent months highlights real evolution in his timing, footwork, and confidence — all essential against a battle-tested opponent like Danimar.
The bout will take place at Centro de Evento Fênix in Biguaçu, Santa Catarina — a venue known for loud crowds and a passionate local MMA culture. Fighting in Brazil is never simple, and NAF events have a reputation for producing high-energy, action-heavy matchups.
For Sean Pero, this fight is more than a test — it’s an opportunity.
An opportunity to show that Israel’s next generation of fighters can compete globally.
An opportunity to defeat a veteran in his home country.
And an opportunity to take the next real step toward becoming one of Israel’s standout international MMA athletes.
Israel’s MMA scene continues to grow, and Sean Pero is part of that wave.
December 13th will be his moment to prove it.
Stay tuned for full results and behind-the-scenes coverage.
