If he knew about Pyrrha's Semblance, then he's an idiot for not forcefully inputting a code into the "randomizer" that prevented the two from fighting a code like that wouldn't really matter in the style of the tournament, the only way they wouldn't fight is if one of them lost or didn't take part. Actually, there is a way to input a code like that. The tournament matches were decided via a randomizer, as demonstrated by the candidates spinning on a roulette wheel, only Cinder was fixing the matches by pre-selecting who would fight who, only giving the illusion it was randomized. yes they could put in a code to keep them from paring up throughout the rounds, but again wouldn't matter unless one of them lost a fight, cause if they both continue winning, what are they going to do, cancel the final match?

if there was any fear of Pyrrha's semblance vs Penny, then Ironwood wouldn't have risked one of the highest advanced robots he had created. even for the glory of his country, I doubt he'd risk probably decades of research and development
