Tyson Pedro Says He’s Not Thinking About Return Yet Following ACL Surgery

Tyson Pedro spoke with MMAjunkie about undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery after his loss to Shogun Rua at UFC Fight Night 142. Highlights are below:

On his loss to Shogun Rua: “‘Shogun’ got me. When he kicked me, he kicked my foot out and it was a non-contact tear. He got me good. I tried to pretend like it didn’t happen, I didn’t tell anyone. I couldn’t push off the floor, when I was standing up I was falling over. I didn’t know what happened, but I knew it was bad.”

On his window for a return: “I haven’t even thought about it. I’ve got so many other plans during this time and I plan on coming back a little bit heavier, I plan on coming back a little bit stronger. I plan on changing a lot of things.”
