Bellator® signs 18yr-old wrestling prospect Aaron Pico

The key to Bellator MMA signing Pico is that he’s clearly not going to be fighting for them any time soon and risk an injury that could derail his Olympic dreams. It’s actually a decision that banks on his future. Bellator can tout that it has an Olympic medalist on its roster if he makes it all the way to the top.
Scott Coker elaborates:
Simply put, Aaron has all the makings of MMA’s next great superstar, and to have him here at Bellator is something special. Aaron is someone we’ve been watching closely over the last few years, and after sitting down with Bob Cook and his team, getting a chance to meet Aaron, and hearing his long-term aspirations, the fit became very obvious.
