Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov picked up a unanimous decision victory over Tyson Pedro at PFL Belfast on April 17, with all three judges scoring the bout 29-28 in the Turkmenistan-born fighter's favor.
Pedro, now 10-5, entered the contest as one of the more physically imposing fighters on the card. The 34-year-old Australian, who trains out of Lions High Performance Centre, stands six-foot-three with a 79-inch reach and carries genuine finishing ability across both striking and grappling. He lands 2.9 significant strikes per minute at a sharp 59 percent accuracy and mixes in submission threats at a rate of 0.8 attempts per 15 minutes, making him a multi-dimensional threat whenever he competes.
The card in Belfast also delivered several notable finishes beyond the main event. JJ Wilson stopped Darragh Kelly by knockout in the first round, while Kaolan Loughran submitted Alan Philpott inside one frame. Omran Chaaban added another early finish with a first-round TKO over Chequinha Noso Pedro. Pedro Carvalho and David Martinez were among the other fighters who secured wins across the night.
Martinez, known as the Black Spartan, improved his record to 14-1 with his victory. The 27-year-old from Mexico trains with Bonebreakers MMA and fights out of an orthodox stance. He is an aggressive volume striker, landing 4.82 significant strikes per minute, and his record reflects consistent finishing ability throughout his career.
