8-1 favorite Tyson Pedro wants to make up for lost time at UFC 278

After the second of back-to-back stoppage setbacks, he found himself on the shelf from December 2018 all the way until his return in April, when he stopped Ike Villanueva with a first-round TKO.

Pedro said the return was the goal, even more so than getting his hand raised.
