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.

The background and the culture, I’m still learning it, but that’s part of the reason I got it. I’m in this position – especially being in the UFC – to represent our culture. It’s important to have someone representing our culture, and that’s what it’s all about. That’s what I’m doing. Representing.

Jake Paul replied, “I’m not gonna get the Tyson one, but Tyson, like, got his legendary tattoo; he just…” Lil Pump insisted; probably Paul needs it since he’s like one of the ‘faces of boxing’. The Ohioan YouTuber-turned-boxer then shared, “So I’m just like, F*ck it, like, why not just do it because Tyson did it? It’s a story behind Tyson’s face tat is, it was like Wednesday of his fight week, and he just got it, and he showed up to the presser the next day with the face tat and he didn;t tell anybody. So I’m thinking about doing that in honor…”

With the victory, Pedro bounces back into the win column after a February unanimous decision loss to Modestas Bukauskas. He has now won three of his most recent four. In defeat, Turkalj has now lost three consecutive bouts to start his UFC tenure.
