Though his return to the bantamweight division didn’t end as he might have liked, Brad Pickett still put on a great show against 24-year old Thomas Almeida at UFC 189. Against steep odds, Pickett looked to have been winning heading into the second round.
Then he got caught with a flying knee, and just like that an upset victory in the making became his third straight loss.
The 36-year-old "One Punch" Pickett, who appeared on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, that loss has stayed with him a bit.
"Yes, it was a tough pill to swallow," he told Ariel Helwani.
