Young for his division as the average age of his fellow competitors is just over 32 years, Pedro has racked up an impressive seven wins from nine bouts. He says part of his recipe for success is finding ways to switch off. \u00a0This might include spending time with friends away from the hustle and bustle, which is one of the reasons he\u2019s chosen Karma Kandara\u2019s clifftop digs over the overrun tourist haunts of Kuta and Seminyak, and even playing the occasional video game.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Karma Kandara, Pedro says last time he relaxed in the spa and caught the private movies on the beach. \u201cThat was probably my favourite thing; I love watching movies and just chilling out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even in the midst of taking a well-earned rest, Pedro took time earlier in the day to visit kids at the Bali Life Foundation, a charity supported by Karma providing education as well as basic needs to Bali\u2019s underprivileged women and children. During the visit, Pedro gave away sets of gloves to the kids and taught the budding future UFC champions some MMA basics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were lining up to punch me in the stomach! I was a bit sore afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pedro says it\u2019s all about positivity and drawing positive people in around you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like positive people, and all the kids at Bali Life Foundation have such a great attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC fighter Tyson Pedro seems wise beyond his years.
