Tyron Pedro is an easy-going, fun-loving member of the UFC light heavyweight division who has a smile on his face more often than not. He embraces that side of his personality but also knows when to switch gears into fight mode. Pedro (6-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), who meets Saparbek Safarov (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 221 main-card opener, will enter the event following the first defeat of his career. He admits his decision loss to Ilir Latifi at UFC 215 in September was the first time he couldn’t find that switch, and it cost him. The Australian said he doesn’t foresee himself encountering the same problem again in his next outing against Safarov.
