Weird thing is, he looked bigger and more muscular in training than during the fight itself. Thomson himself said he should be at 145. Guess I was a bit mislead. I figured he was a young guy growing into a solid lightweight frame, but I guess not.Don't know much about him but he seems small to me.
reminds me of a young Phillip Nover
The alterboy nickname at 33?? Kinda lame. Why not a different nickname like The pastor, the preacher, the Christian, which ever other nick name.
Freeman wasn't a shark though.Exactly this Pico kid should be fighting in a lower promotion. Take a few fights and slowly build yourself up. Not just jump into the water with the sharks.
One thing is for sure, Danis would not have looked anywhere near so foolish.Kinda disappointing. Hopefully Aaron learns to has some respect and caution now. Can't just wade in chin first no matter who you are.
Now hopefully Bellator will throw Dillon Danis to the wolves so I can get some real LOL moments.
True he is looking just as foolish without having to step in the cage.One thing is for sure, Danis would not have looked anywhere near so foolish.
I agree, but it's still hard to know what his chin is like. The EASIEST time to get rocked is with the first punch. We never got to see his recovery either, because the dude is a jiujitsu champion.The only thing I took away during that 20 something-ish fight was that Pico has a terrible chin. That can be the death nail for people's career. Maybe he does have great technique but that chin will always hold him back. There have been guys to overcome having glassjaws, namely Shinya Aoki, but he was smart and knew that he was deficient in striking and had the upperhand in the grappling department against 95% of the division and minimized his chances of getting KTFOd by keeping fights in his wheelhouse. Even then, it's not like Aoki hasn't found himself on the end of a few stoppages from time to time. The worrying thing about Pico is all he talks about is wanting to knock people out.
he wrestling forums are being particularly hard on Pico. It was hard seeing Pico leave wrestling for MMA when and yes he was getting a great amount of hype, but when you have guys like Bob Cook who clearly know about MMA saying things like, "Aaron Pico is the greatest prospect I've ever seen" it's hard not to get excited about that. I don't think we should give up on Pico just yet, but we should temper down all our expectations knowing what we know about his chin now.
Freeman wasn't a shark though.
- His record of last 4 years was 1-2.
- He was also making his Bellator debut.
Likely he was handpicked to make Pico look good.
