Aaron Pico Is Back In The W Column After Sparking Daniel Carey OUT COLD At Bellator 238
Aaron Pico's mixed martial arts career may be young, as is he, but over the past few years, he's been one of the most MUST WATCH athletes in the sport. He debuted as one of the most highly touted prospects in the history of the sport in June of 2017, and got caught in a guillotine choke that he tapped to just 24 seconds into that first fight. Afterwards, Pico rebounded with four straight first-round knockouts, making his debut look like a fluke, and appearing to be the prospect we all thought he would be, before suffering back-to-back devastating knockouts of his own and throwing everything into question.
Tonight, though, at Bellator 238, Pico stepped up when he needed to - BIG TIME - and put opponent Daniel Carey's lights out with a...forearm hook? I don't even know what to call it! He threw a left hook and landed with his inner forearm!
Aaron Pico is now back on the right track in his first fight as a member of the JacksonWink team, and we love to see it. If he could stop getting knocked out, we're looking at an incredibly dangerous fighter. I know that's kinda like...no duh...but it's true.
Cris Cyborg makes her company debut in Bellator 238's main event against Women's Featherweight Champion Julia Budd. Should be a banger of a fight. Check it out.
