LAS VEGAS – Tyson Pedro got his request out of the way early after UFC Fight Night 238.
“All right. Let’s do it. I’d appreciate (you) not trying to make me cry. That’d be nice,” Pedro said when he got to the podium Saturday after the co-main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Pedro (10-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) lost a unanimous decision to Vitor Petrino (11-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), and afterward said he made the decision to hang up his gloves in order to focus more on his family.
But getting through talking about his choice to walk away without shedding a few tears might have been about as hard as anything he ever had to do in the cage.
