Aaron Pico Eyes Title After Latest Win: 'I Can Be Bellator World Champion'

Aaron Pico has spent his entire career in the spotlight, starting his professional run with incredibly high expectations.

A few early defeats led many to lose faith in what the featherweight prospect could ultimately accomplish, but a current six-fight winning streak has quite a few jumping back on the bandwagon.

Pico, who is oftentimes his own toughest critic, says he was pleased with his recent Bellator 277 win over late replacement Adli Edwards.

"I felt really good," Pico told MMA Underground. "I'm really happy with my performance. Just some slight things that I feel I could have done better, but overall, I give myself an A, and I'm really proud of us, my team, because it was a long training camp, and it was just a good night.
