INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Aaron Pico vowed you would see the 2.0 version of his fight career Saturday night, and he delivered on his promise at Bellator 238.
Now well established at Jackson Wink MMA, Pico returned to The Forum back home in the Los Angeles area looking to shake off back-to-back knockout losses when he took on Daniel Carey in a preliminary bout.
Pico (5-3 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) still has that knockout power he’s shown since he broke into MMA, but he also displayed patience, which was missing from his game before, as he felt things out in the first round of the featherweight fight.
Then, in the second, when he saw a real opening, he pounced. Pico threw a wicked left that seemed part punch, part forearm smash.

However you wish to categorize it, it was the end of the night for Carey (7-4 MMA, 3-3 BMMA) at the 15-second mark of the round.
