SYDNEY – It’s a bit unclear whose wife was the target of a crass joke by “The Pleasure Man” at the UFC 293 pre-fight news conference, but Tyson Pedro was happy to make him pay for his words regardless.
After Pedro (10-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) bludgeoned Anton Turkalj (8-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC) with a first-round knockout combination, he explained how the fight on Saturday’s main card at Qudos Bank Arena was perhaps a bit more personal than usual.
Three days prior at the official UFC 293 pre-fight news conference, MMA Junkie senior reporter Mike Bohn asked Turkalj the origin of his unusual nickname, to which “The Pleasure Man” responded, “The best way to find out is to ask Tyson Pedro after a fight or you ask your wife.”
