Aussie Duo Tai Tuivasa, Tyson Pedro Both Sign New Six-Fight Contracts With The UFC

Both Tai Tuivasa & Tyson Pedro have signed new 6-fight contracts with UFC, per sources. Tuivasa is hoping to finalize his spot in the main event of the 11/24 Beijing card. JDS (not likely) or Tybura (maybe) have been discussed as opponents. Nothing done. Pedro's return is TBD.

The current batch of Australians plying their trade in the Ultimate Fighting Championship is arguably the strongest ever, including current undisputed middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, women’s featherweight Megan Anderson, light heavyweight Tyson Pedro and heavyweight Tai Tuivasa.
