The first time Daniel Pineda saw a live mixed-martial-arts fight, he walked in just in time to see his brother in a bad position.
Five years older than Pineda, Jose Santibanez had started his fighting career while his little brother was still in high school. One night, Pineda and a few buddies went to see one of his fights.
That night, Pineda, who fights at Friday's HDNet-televised Legacy Fighting Championships 7 event, saw his career begin almost solely out of brotherly protection.
