Top prospect Aaron Pico will look to capitalize on his first win when he returns at Bellator 192.
On Thursday, officials confirmed that the 21-year-old featherweight’s third professional bout has been booked against nine-year veteran Shane Kruchten. The matchup was first reported by Eric Kowal of MyMMANews.com.
Hailed by many as a future star, Pico improved to 1-1 this past September with a stunning first-round knockout of Justin Linn. That victory was a turnaround from the upset loss the standout amateur wrestler suffered in his MMA debut at Bellator 180 in June.
