SALT LAKE CITY – Tyson Pedro is 2-0 since returning from the longest layoff of his career, and he barely broke a sweat against Harry Hunsucker at UFC 278.
Pedro (9-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) made quick work of Hunsucker (7-6 MMA, 0-3 UFC) on Saturday’s card at Vivint Arena, storming his opponent out of the gate in the light heavyweight bout and getting him hurt to set up the TKO finish just 65 seconds after the bout began.
Papa Pedro coming in HOT 😂
