Pedro made his return to a pay-per-view card after a grueling three and a half years. The 30-year-old suffered torn ACL, which sidelined him from continuing his impressive campaign.

On his return to the Octagon, the Australian-born fighter made quick work of his opponent, securing himself a first-round knockout. Pedro hardly took a punch, as he initially stunned Harry Hunsucker with a hefty jab and quickly followed up with a vicious front kick to the body.

Hunsucker was down to the floor after this combination, and Pedro wasted no time in landing the final punches to secure the victory in his comeback fight. The referee Mike Beltran called a stop to the contest after just the first minute of the first round and declared Tyson Pedro as the winner by KO/TKO. Pedro’s impressive and efficient performance managed to get a positive response from the crowd.
