Aaron Pico is a nice guy. So accommodating that he’s trying to look out for the best interests of Patricio Freire. Or something like that.
Pico, the biggest prospect in the history of mixed martial arts, will fight Henry Corrales in the co-main event of Bellator 214 on Saturday night in Inglewood, Calif. A victory could put Pico next in line for a featherweight title shot against Freire.
If the victory does indeed go down, the 22-year-old Pico has a measure of advice for “Pitbull,” the champion: There won’t be a better time to fight me than the current moment.
