Aaron Pico will try to make it 3-0 in 2020 next month.
Pico and John de Jesus have agreed to a featherweight bout at Bellator MMA’s Nov. 12 event, multiple people with knowledge of the booking confirmed to MMA Fighting. The news was first reported by ESPN.
After a winless 2019 campaign including knockout losses to Henry Corrales and Adam Borics, Pico has surged in 2020 with back-to-back finishes. The 24-year-old blue chipper knocked out Daniel Carey in the second round at January’s Bellator 238 event.
