UFC Adelaide video highlights: Shogun Rua rallies to stop Tyson Pedro

Coming off a brutal KO loss to Anthony Smith, former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua was a heavy underdog in enemy territory against Tyson Pedro, and with the way round 1 went, it looked as if he was in for another loss. Instead, the Brazilian rallied with a dominant round 2, then a TKO finish in the final round to give him four wins in his last five. He’s not finished just yet! As for Pedro, it’s a second defeat in a row for him and three in his last four, and his early promise has essentially been erased with these recent performances.
