"I was able to shut some people's mouths real quick," the former UFC star said at Penrith's Panthers Leagues Club.

Pedro's debut had twice been scheduled against Kris Terzievski and twice it fell through.
It was initially postponed when Pedro fractured his elbow at training and then Terzievski sensationally pulled out on the day of the rescheduled fight due to a pay dispute.
"I've been writing that I'm the WBC international bridgerweight champion for a year. Every page in my notebook - I've written it down every single day," Pedro said.
"I've got a picture that I superimposed this belt, onto my UFC photo of me screaming, and I look at it every day, when I wake up and go to bed.
"I thought it was going to be a harder fight. Not that I didn't put in the work... I thought that I would take a lot more hits."
Pedro, who is now coached by Australian great Jeff Fenech, called out Jake Paul after the fight.
