Aaron Pico picked up his fourth straight win earlier tonight (Fri., June 11, 2021) at Bellator 260, and he did it in dominant and impressive fashion. Indeed, for two rounds, Pico absolutely dominated Aiden Lee, taking him down at will and putting on a wrestling clinic for everyone to see.
And it was a beautiful thing to watch.
When Pico wasn’t taking Lee down (a total of nine times), he was clipping him with shots or trying to submit him. In fact, Pico tried to sink in an anaconda choke on several occasions, but Lee defended well. After 11 minutes of action, though, Pico once again took Lee down and once again tried the anaconda choke. And this time he got it, forcing Lee to tap, putting an end to the punishment.
@AaronPicoUSA straight in with the takedown!
