Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov picked up a unanimous decision win over Tyson Pedro at PFL Belfast on April 17, 2026, with all three judges scoring the contest 29-28 in his favor.
Pedro, a 34-year-old light heavyweight from Australia, entered the bout carrying a professional record of 10 wins and 5 losses. Fighting out of Lions High Performance Centre in an orthodox stance, the six-foot-three, 191-centimeter Pedro brings a notable 79-inch reach to his matchups. He lands 2.9 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 59 percent, and also contributes on the ground, averaging 0.76 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 0.8 submission attempts in the same span. Despite those tools, he was unable to secure the result on the night against Yagshimuradov.
Why it matters
- Pedro drops to 10-5 with the loss, making a return to winning form a priority for his continued standing in the light heavyweight division under PFL
- The narrow 29-28 scores on all three cards suggest a competitive fight that could have gone either way
- The result strengthens Yagshimuradov's position on the PFL roster ahead of the organization's playoff structure
