Despite a 12-0 record with three wins inside the Bellator cage, Adam Borics walked into his fight against Aaron Pico as the underdog with all eyes on his opponent.
Ever since he was a teenager, Pico has been under the spotlight first as a prodigal wrestler, who opted to skip college and go the Henry Cejudo route in an effort to head straight to the Olympics instead. Pico came up just short of making the 2016 Olympic wrestling team so he then turned his attention to mixed martial arts where he was already being called one of the brightest prospects to enter the sport.
