BELLATOR MMA SIGNS OLYMPICS HOPEFUL

By David Tees on 12/8/2014 6:28 PM

Eighteen year old Olympics hopeful (2016 Games) Aaron Pico has signed a contract with Bellator MMA, despite not having fought once as a professional and/or amateur fighter. Pico is a previous FILA World Championships winner and he is also a Golden Gloves Junior National Champion. Pico is attempting to make the 2016 Olympic wrestling team, as well as compete in Bellator MMA prior to those games. Pico’s first bout has yet to be announced, but it is expected to come sometime in the next year, barring anything happening with the Olympics.
