At just 20 years old, Aaron Pico is a work in progress — which is about the kindest thing you could say after he crashed and burned in his heavily hyped MMA debut.
Pico is hoping to get a second chance to make a first impression when he meets Justin Linn in a featherweight bout at Bellator 183 on Saturday at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. The highly touted prospect was introduced to the cold reality of the fight game when he was submitted in just 24 seconds by Zach Freeman this past June in front of thousands of fans at Madison Square Garden.
