UFC 221′s Tyson Pedro wants new bonus for ‘Walkout of the Night’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 21:04:04 +0000

When UFC light heavyweight Tyson Pedro took to the dais for UFC 221’s post-event press conference, he didn’t look quite as stoked as he had in the moments before and after his fight. Despite one of the night’s best walkouts , a brilliant first-round submission win , and a post-fight speech only slightly downgraded by Jon Anik’s hand-eye coordination , Pedro explained his letdown. “Who chooses the bonuses, actually?

Best save of UFC 221? Jon Anik foils Tyson Pedro’s attempted mic drop

BAD MMA News — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 04:34:51 +0000

Tyson Pedro ’s win over Saparbek Safarov at UFC 221 wasn’t exactly a surprise, at least not to the oddsmakers who pegged the Aussie light heavyweight as a 3-1 favorite in his home country. So when Pedro (7-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) locked up the kimura in the first round and used it to roll Saparbek (8-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) over and force the tap, that seemed somewhat expected. But when he got on the mic in the post-fight interview and it inadvertantly led to a demonstration of UFC commentator Jon Anik’s hand-eye coordination?

UFC 221′s Tyson Pedro: ‘I don’t take life seriously, but I take fighting seriously’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 01:05:37 +0000

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.
