Aaron Pico debuts against former RFA title challenger Zach Freeman

[Thesnake101]

Aaron Pico's debut is finally here, and it will be against 8-2 Zach Freeman, who's a former RFA LW title challenger. Kinda tough fight for a debuting guy, but I think Pico should win. I like that they're giving him a good test right off the bat.

This bout completes the main card for Bellator's PPV.

Much better fighter than you'd expect them to give him. Not bad. We'll see how he looks.

I slate Bellator a lot, but damn, that's a really good fight - finally, a stellar prospect getting a proper test in his debut rather than a 3-3 Nebraskan gas attendant.

I legit thought he was fighting that kid Taylor who lost two Gallagher and that Hungary prospect. This is a giant test as a debut.

Damm, with that pace if he can get the W's he could be a title challenger with 5-0 or 6-0 sometime
I like the fight, if Pico wins would be really badass

war Pico!

 

[Go Go Plata]

Pro debut on the PPV main card? Wow this guy is getting a bigger push than any prospect they've signed to date.

 

[Toner]

Now that the card is complete, will you guys be buying the PPV?

The card is good. I'll be buying.

 

[VIP1349]

Jesus. Seems like a awfully hard test. He gets this win, I would be really impressed.

Seems opposite of what Bellator normally does.

 

[LHWBelt]

Wow. They usually give these guys some other debuting guy or one of my uncles.

 

[Danespina]

Now that the card is complete, will you guys be buying the PPV?

The card is good. I'll be buying.

I feel like if you're the type of guy who really doesn't like watching Sonnen, then you like watching Fedor

 

[Sycho Sid]

So his first fight and he gets a bigger test than 90% of MVP's fights? I like it!

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Already getting more legitimate than MVP. Looking forward to it

Pro debut on the PPV main card? Wow this guy is getting a bigger push than any prospect they've signed to date.

yup, only superstars like CM Punk receives that treatment

 

[DDx2]

So no wmma fight for main card? Kind of surprise.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

He is 0-0 and already fighting better opposition than MVP.

Now that the card is complete, will you guys be buying the PPV?

The card is good. I'll be buying.

Id probably chip in 10-20 for it if my brother and others were willing to buy it like UFC events but they arent.

Not paying for it alone though.

Even with UFC PPV these days more and more people I watch with are picking and choosing which PPV to buy. Used to be chip in to buy just about every PPV but now it needs to be a 211 PPV or a huge fight like Conor for people to want to pay for it.

Now that the card is complete, will you guys be buying the PPV?

The card is good. I'll be buying.

I'll probably buy it, the card is extremely stacked.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that he's fighting a guy like Freeman, really thought that he was gonna be developed slowly, since he's young and what not.

I'm thinking that they're going to try and turn him into their next Chandler, probably at BW or FW, since he's undersized at LW.
