Pedro made his promotional debut against Khalil Rountree on November 15, 2016, at UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs. Brunson. He won the fight via submission in round 1, for which he was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.

On June 12, 2011, Tyson was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame alongside legendary Mexican champion Julio César Chávez, light welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu, and actor/screenwriter Sylvester Stallone. In 2011, Bleacher Report omitted Tyson from its list of top 10 heavyweights, saying that «Mike Tyson is not a top 10 heavyweight. He killed the fighters he was supposed to beat, but when he fought another elite fighter, he always lost. I’m not talking about some of those B-level fighters he took a belt from. I’m talking about the handful of good boxers he fought throughout his career.»

«I would like to make this fight happen. Anthony Joshua is a superstar, he’s a bigger name and he holds belts. In the heavyweight division, you never know. It takes only one punch,» said Zhang, punching his right palm with his left fist.

Ilir Latifi gebruikt zijn sterke worstelgame om Pedro 15 minuten te domineren op de grond. Latifi won het gevecht zodoende vrij eenvoudig via Unanimous Decision. Pedro keerde vervolgens terug in de Octagon in Februari 2018 tijdens UFC 221 in Perth. Pedro nam het op tegen de Rus Saparbek Safarov. Pedro won het gevecht in de eerste ronde via een zeer spectaculaire Kimura Submission. Mede door die overwinning mocht Pedro opdraven tijdens het Co-Main Event van UFC Singapore in Juni 2018 tegen Ovince St.Preux. Pedro leek OSP vroeg in de eerste ronde te gaan finishen. Echter wist OSP de partij om te keren en Pedro via Straight Armbar Submission te finishen. Dit overkwam Pedro wederom in December 2018 tijdens UFC Adelaide. MMA legende Mauricio «Shogun» Rua versloeg Pedro via TKO in de derde ronde nadat Pedro de Braziliaan in de eerste ronde in grote problemen had. Pedro zou vervolgens tijdens UFC Auckland in Februari 2020 gaan vechten tegen de Braziliaan Vinicius Moreira. Echter gooide een blessure roet in het eten voor de Australiër. Drieënhalf jaar na zijn partij tegen Shogun keerde Pedro terug in de UFC tegen Ike Villanueva. Pedro vocht sterk en won via TKO in de eerste ronde. Ditzelfde kunststukje flikte hij ook in Augustus 2022 tegen Harry Hunsucker. Helaas voor de Australiër ging het in Februari 2023 mis voor eigen publiek. Modestas Bukauskas was via Unanimous Decision te sterk. Ruim een half jaar later revancheerde Pedro zich met een knock-out overwinning in de eerste ronde tegen Anton Turkalj. Pedro vocht vervolgens in 2024 tegen Vitor Petrino. De Australiër verloor via Unanimous Decision en ging met pensioen.

However, the story of Tyson’s face tattoo actually goes back several years earlier. According to Tyson himself, he was inspired to get the tattoo after seeing a similar design on the face of a Maori warrior during a trip to New Zealand. The Maori are an indigenous Polynesian people who have a rich cultural heritage and traditions that date back thousands of years. One of their most well-known customs is the practice of facial tattoos, which are known as moko.

His kayaking coach suggested boxing. Zhang didn’t know a little about boxing. He knew nothing. China Central Television only showed fights on Sunday mornings, and Zhang wasn’t watching. But there was something about the feeling of the gloves. The thwack of the heavy bag. «It just got me excited,» says Zhang. After two weeks of training, he sparred with a provincial champion. «I beat the crap out of him,» says Zhang. «He was bleeding all over his face. That was when I realized I was actually pretty good.»

From afar, George had cringed at how Zhang was being developed. There was no plan, he says. No visible signs of improvement. The only objective seemed to be to lard Zhang’s record with enough warm bodies until one of the top heavyweights would pay a premium to face him. «Do you remember Nikolai Valuev?» asks George, referencing the 7-foot Russian who briefly held a heavyweight title. «That’s how everyone was looking at Zhilei. Like a gimmick.»
