Aaron Pico has signed a multi-fight, multi-year deal with Bellator, Sports Illustrated has learned.
Pico (9-3) is one of the brightest rising stars in all of MMA. His next fight takes place at Bellator 277 on April 15, where he seeks to extend his five-fight win streak in a featherweight bout against Jeremy Kennedy. The 25-year-old is part of Bellator's long term plans, and the new deal should further illustrate the promotion's commitment to Pico.
