One of the most highly touted prospects in MMA has aspirations of lacing up the boxing gloves. Aaron Pico (7-3 MMA, 7-3 BMMA), 24, already has experienced ups and downs in his young MMA career, but he’s back to living up to his potential after going 3-0 with three finishes in 2020 – including a recent knockout at Bellator 253 – to rebound from a 2019 in which he was knocked out twice.

He’s been able to successfully translate his technique to MMA, with six of his seven professional wins coming by knockout.
