Rising star Aaron Pico got back to winning ways at Bellator 238 this weekend. The 23-year-old came into his fight against Daniel Carey on the back of two straight defeats. With the pressure on he delivered big time, scoring a highlight reel second round knockout to improve his record to 5-3 as a professional. Despite being impressed by Pico, Bellator President Scott Coker is not keen on giving the youngster big fights anytime soon. Speaking to media including MMA Junkie post event he said.
“Aaron Pico is back. He looked great. He had a great knockout, and I thought he was a fighter who had a lot of patience in there.” Coker said. “He wasn’t just rushing in, trying to finish. He looked like he took a step forward in his development as an athlete and a mixed martial arts fighter. I think Pico showed me you have to be patient in there and have to work certain things. What I saw was a patient fighter that wasn’t just looking for the one punch knockout, even though he knocked him out in the end.”
“I’m proud of him, really. This is the thing, and as a promoter I always
tell my athletes, ‘You have to continue to get better in something that you’re
weak in. If you’re a grappler, don’t just grapple, go out there and work on
your stand up, take some chances, because this is MMA. One day you’ll meet another
grappler like you, and the stand-up is what’s going to make the difference.’
It’s their job to continue to grow, and I saw Aaron grow and lift today.”
“I think that we should probably let him rest, but my goal is to have him back soon and maybe have him get another two or three fights before the end of the year. Maybe we can turn him loose at that point and have him fight some of the bigger guys. He has to prove that he can continue improving and rebuilding because, you know, if you’re the same fighter you were a year ago, you’re going to have a hard time. You have to grow, and I saw some growth today, but let’s see how he looks at the end of the year.”
Can Aaron Pico still fulfil his
potential and become Bellator champion?

Rising star Aaron Pico got back to winning ways in impressive fashion at Bellator 238. The 23-year-old scored a vicious one punch knockout over Daniel Carey. In the early seconds of round two, Pico closed the show. With a picture-perfect left hook, he sent his opponent stiff and tumbling to the canvas.
The American prospect has been highly touted since transitioning
to MMA from wrestling and boxing. However, the road to the top of the sport
hasn’t been an easy one. Pico has lost three of his first eight fights and
faced lots of criticism. Especially heading into Bellator 238, as he had
suffered back-to-back knockout defeats to Adam Borics and Henry Corrales.
Having began his career under the Bellator banner it must
be noted Pico is fighting upper echelon guys prematurely. He hasn’t been afforded
the luxury of slowing building to elite level, he’s already there. One look at
last nights performance and its easy to see why he’s being rushed along.
Bellator 238 was the first time Pico had enjoyed a full camp with his new team. The starlet has been training with Jackson-Wink academy in New Mexico, home of countless top MMA fighters through the years. Everything seemed to work for him, throughout his fight against Carey.
In the first round Pico was about to use his high-level wrestling to drag the fight to the mat. Form there he began to dominate the fight, maintaining position and dropping nasty ground and pound. A brilliant showcase of his wrestling we have rarely seen since his professional MMA debut.
The second round was over before you even knew it. After exchanging some shots that missed with his opponent, Pico countered beautifully. As the hands of Carey dropped to defend a kick, Pico whipped in a left hook that shut out the lights. The punch left Carey unconscious on the mat, Pico landed an extra shot on the ground before the referee launched himself in to stop the fight. Check out the devastating finish from Pico at Bellator 238.
AARON PICO!!!

With this win Pico improves his record to 5-3 and will look to build further on it moving forward. Now under a new camp, who can harness his aggression and implore the wild fighter to rely on his skills to win fights.
