Among the many intriguing fights on the Bellator 206 lineup this Saturday is a featherweight clash between rising phenom Aaron Pico and Leandro Higo. The 22-year-old Pico has been touted as one of the best prospects in MMA history, and after a shocking loss to Zach Freeman in his pro debut, the former wrestling standout has rattled off three consecutive first-round knockouts.
On the other side is Higo, a former LFA champion and recent Bellator bantamweight title challenger who trains at “Pitbull Brothers” gym alongside the famed Patricky and Patricio Freire, with the latter holding Bellator’s featherweight title.
