INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Most fighters on the wrong end of a knockout, much less a young fighter who just got knocked out for the first time, aren’t in any real rush to go face the media afterwards.
The highly touted Southern California featherweight got caught by Henry Corrales in the co-feature bout of Bellator 214 on Saturday night, capping as frenetic a 67-stretch of fighting as you’ll ever see.
But there was Pico at the podium during the post-fight press conference at The Forum, saying this was all a part of the game.
