For 22-year-old super prospect Aaron Pico, there are no tune-up fights.
After being knocked out in just 67 seconds by Henry Corrales earlier this year, Pico is now set to fight undefeated Hungarian featherweight Adam Borics (12-0) on the main card of Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 14. MMA Fighting confirmed the matchup with Bellator officials following an initial report by ESPN.
Pico has shown flashes of brilliance in his six pro bouts (all inside the Bellator cage), recording four straight first-round knockouts in-between his debut and his bout with Corrales at Bellator 214.
