Aaron Pico is coming off of a dominant win at Bellator 277 and the featherweight now finds himself in an excellent position going forward. His MMA career had a rough start but things are getting back on track.
Getting a title shot in MMA is always something fighters like Aaron Pico chase. Bellator's featherweight division is a bit complicated as AJ McKee and Patricio Pitbull are currently 1-1 with a rematch potentially in the future.
“We have to see where we go,” Pico told MMA Junkie and other reporters at the Bellator 277 post-fight news conference. “I have to talk to my manager Ali (Abdelaziz) and go from there. There’s nothing I can really say. I just fought Edwards. Now it’s one and one between ‘Pitbull’ and A.J., so I assume they’re going to have a rematch. I’ll just stay focused, keep going and my time will come to be world champion. It really will. When that time comes, I’ll do it.”
Bellator 277 saw Aaron Pico take on a short-notice replacement opponent and he had an excellent performance. The New Mexico-based fighter was just happy someone stepped up and he was able to continue his MMA journey.
“He’s super, super tough,” Pico said. “I was hitting him with some hard shots. I’m just very, very thankful that he took the fight. To fight me on less than a weeks’ notice, the man has balls. I hope Bellator signs him for a couple of fights and I think he’s going to do some damage in the division.”
