And that's how you ruin a career

[NoBiasJustMMA]

That's wrong, it just depends on his strength of character
Some guys who have been brutally KOd and gone on to be champs include, off the top of my head...

Bisping
Woodley
Poirier
Arlovski
Dos Anjos
Liddell
Lawler
Garbrant
Ortiz

thats just the UFC...if we extend to other prestigious championships:

MacDonald
Bader
Wanderlei
Coleman
Crocop
Aoki
Folayang
Overeem
Moraes
Babalu

It can be done

I don't think any of those guys got hurt so much so early in their careers though. He's only had 7 fights and has basically been KOed 3 times already. I'm hoping he takes it slow now and stops trying to fight guys way more experienced for a few fights.

There sure are a lot of people who don't know the difference between bad defense/getting hit clean with shots you don't see coming and having a bad chin.

Pico is in there either boxing or wrestling, not fighting MMA. Freeman was a much bigger man and hit him dead on with that knee. Pico was swarming Corrales when he got clipped right on the button with a perfect counter shot that he didn't brace for at all. Borics just launched straight a flying knee into his grill that Pico ducked down right into. These are not the type of shots that make you question someone's chin. If he was in there seeing them coming, trying to roll with them and still getting dropped by average punches then yeah, that's an issue. He just isn't an MMA fighter yet, he's not even close. He's a kid with barely any experience who's one of the best in the world in one area and extremely talented in another and that's all. The experience he does have isn't the kind that's even going to help him when he steps up in competition like he's been doing. He's either steamrolling or getting stopped, which is not useful cage time. That's why he's losing to more veteran opponents who have actually dealt with adversity in there or have had to problem-solve on the fly.

Going to Jackson's was stupid. That's a dying gym that won't emphasize his shortcomings. He should be at ATT for the next few years working his BJJ and learning how to incorporate his excellent offensive boxing into a more comprehensive stand up game.

He looked great good until teh ko.
Seemed to me he was trying to copy Khabib with arm trap and tying legs

His last 2 losses knockout most dudes

Yep, you're totally right, It would've knocked out Anderson, it would've knocked out prime Wanderlei, it would've knocked out the Diaz brothers, it would've knocked out Ortega, it would've knocked out prime Penn, it would've knocked out the Nog brothers, it would've knocked out Melendez, it would've knocked out prime Alvarez, it would
ve knocked out prime Edgar, it would've knocked out Holloway, after the Daley vs. Silva it would've knocked out Silva....Oh wait!

Would that barely connected grazing punch that dropped him in his first fight "Knock out most MMA fighters as well"???

Hit someone in the right spot and they drop. We see it time and time again. You seem way to angry about it to go on a rant like that
