Taking a fight on four weeks notice is UFC light heavyweight Tyson Pedro who faces Vitor Petrino at UFC Vegas 87 on Saturday night at the UFC APEX.
“Bring it. That’s it,” Pedro told reporters on Wednesday.
“I was the hype train at once. It just takes a better fighter to beat him so I’m ready to take that zero.”
The zero belonging to Petrino’s 10-0 professional record as he heads into Las Vegas against Pedro.
“I’m going to come out there to test him. See if he deserves that zero which…I’m happy to take it like I said,” said Pedro.
The short fight camp was more of a positive than a negative for Pedro who got four weeks to prepare for his co-main event fight at UFC Vegas 87.
“It was actually better. One I didn’t have to spend as much time away from my daughter, and two my body feels amazing. Maybe that’s the new, I don’t know if I can convince Eugene (Bareman) we can do four-week camps, but,” he laughed.
With a short camp, and depending on the result against Petrino, Pedro looks to stay as active as possible in 2024.
“100% plan on staying active,” he said.
