Aaron Pico is not getting an easy opponent for his next Bellator MMA appearance.
Christened as one of the most talented prospects in the sport’s history, ESPN reports that Pico will take on Hungary’s Adam Borics at Bellator 222 on June 14th at Madison Square Garden in New York. The entire main card streams live on DAZN.
Pico (4-2) memorably lost his highly anticipated MMA debut to Zach Freeman at MSG in June of 2017, getting choked out in 24 seconds. The freestyle wrestling standout then proceeded to knockout Justin Linn, Shane Kruchten, Lee Morrison, and former Bellator bantamweight title challenger Leandro Higo, setting himself up for a big showdown with veteran contender Henry Corrales this past January.
