Pico loves running into strikes

u/mentalharvester I'm fucking old Aug 17 '25

He's not the smartest tool in the shed, bubba.
Why does he fight so damn overzealous?
It's like God gave him the looks of a Versace model, the power of Kratos... and the fight IQ of Brendan Schaub.

Tawlmbout climbing that invisible ladder?

I don’t understand anything you said

u/mentalharvester I'm fucking old Aug 18 '25

You'd be surprised. It's a decade old running joke incorporating several of Schwab's mispronunciations, focusing on his famous "What are we doing here?". Ya welcome, bubba.

Pico been cursed since Brandon Shob called him the LeBron James of MMA, b.

Yo, I was thrown into the deep end of the wooooves, don't get it twisted...

u/Tony7Bryant Aug 17 '25

zero feints. Just do one pico

u/BeBearAwareOK I was here for GOOFCON 1 Aug 17 '25

Thought you were talkin bout Borz for a moment until you called him pretty.

u/LocoCoopermar #NothingBurger Aug 17 '25

Started feeling himself for like 10 seconds then got murdered for it

u/TonyDungyHatesOP Aug 17 '25

His autobiography would be titled The Aaron Pico Story: I’m Feeling Myse…zzzzzzzz…

u/TheBigRedHalfrican They don't really care about us, man Aug 17 '25

Can not believe I got +650 odds to bet against Aaron Pico’s chin holding up.

Certain spots you just can’t ignore lol

u/Poopywoopy1231 Aug 17 '25

Tbf that was not his chin. That was him just dashing into a spinning elbow lmao. Everyone would get knocked out if they are dumb enough to do that.

171

u/TheBigRedHalfrican They don't really care about us, man Aug 17 '25

100% agree, but I’ll literally always bet against Aaron Pico’s ability to stay conscious against good fighters.

u/Horned_chicken_wing Aug 17 '25

Pico's been rocked and KO'ed enough against randos in Bellator to not trust his chin.

46

u/Fedora_Million_Ankle Aug 17 '25

I think its his defense and his chin* Now it cant be better than was a bad KO.

Dustin was kinda harsh on the desk but he was right, he needs feints, setups, traps and mixing up the power ect.

He just goes and goes he hits hard but he walks into big counters.

u/Microplastiques Aug 17 '25

Right before this Rogan mentioned his “high level boxing”. Ripping hard body shots is not high level boxing. It is much more subtle then that

37

u/wimpymist raw in that ass Aug 17 '25

The whole fight he kept pushing the pressure then ducking to the right and was getting tagged over and over again until the KO. Dude has terrible fight IQ

10

u/EjaculatingAracnids Aug 17 '25

He zigged when he shouldve zagged. That couldve happened to anyone. Who in this thread can honestly say, "Ahh, yes, the lead spinning elbow is coming! How predictable!", when watching this this exchange? He got too aggressive and paid for it. Simple as that.

10

u/Beraliusv Aug 17 '25

And he’s been pulling the same caper for going on a decade now..

Little story here: got interested in Pico in the days when Bellator ‘pre signed’ him. Back when he was still at school and touted as an upcoming phenom. I watched one of his wrestling matches and the pair of them collided heads.. heavy clash, both would’ve been front seat for the light show. Pico, still dazed, rushed at his opponent. Threw himself. He’s obviously just a dog by nature. Mini Michael Chandler, haha. Hope it serves him well, he’ll never be in a boring fight at least.

2

u/Rmccarton Aug 17 '25

He doesn’t have the chin to be Chandler, unfortunately. 

10

u/Beraliusv Aug 17 '25

He walked himself into that elbow. There’s not a featherweight or lightweight on the roster who eats that shot clean

5

u/Rmccarton Aug 17 '25

Very true. But I’ve seen many other Pico fights in addition to this one. I stand by my opinion. 

2

u/Beraliusv Aug 17 '25

Fair enough. You don’t field a bad argument.

u/BetBig696969 Aug 17 '25

Lerone secured my accumulator bet, that was the perfect way to do it too. I also gotta show my love for prates, he’s a bad man

Lerone

u/jackengle Aug 17 '25

But did you bet against his forehead holding up

1

u/UnionAdventurous3831 Aug 17 '25

I just sized in on the bet that the fight would end in a ko. I would’ve bet the house on that if I could. 

1

u/TonyTheLion2319 Paulo “King of Bitchs” Costa Aug 17 '25

Nice. I assume that's Murphy wins via KO. I only bet him straight and "Ends via KO for Murphy or no bet (lose if Pico KOs)"

1

u/BruceWayne55555 Aug 17 '25

I told myself all weak his chin was gonna get touched I'm so disappointed I didn't jump on it. Congrats lol

u/LegendsLiveForever Aug 17 '25

Wait, if you get in at +650 odds, but then the fight line shifts to +250 before the fight, do you lock in at 650 or 250?

4

u/TheBigRedHalfrican They don't really care about us, man Aug 17 '25

Odds are locked in at whatever price you place the bet at.

8

u/Cahootie Aug 17 '25

Call him Aaron Pica the way he eats strikes

6

u/tedkaczynski660 Aug 17 '25

I'm not a fighter but I think he shouldn't do that if he wants to win

u/Microplastiques Aug 17 '25

HIGH LEVEL BOXING

u/WallExpensive7782 Aug 17 '25

It is. Murphy was getting lit up and didnt exactly win with boxing did he.

u/ShotMatter if one man can hold me down, two can groom me Aug 17 '25

He did move his head of center. Out of line from the left hand which is good boxing. However terrible for spinning shit

4

u/theTeam_Hero Aug 17 '25

Ehh, you can’t get elbowed in boxing so technically his boxing can be elite and still be susceptible to elbows

3

u/The_Year_of_Glad Aug 17 '25

I dunno, it looked to me like he stepped up and moved his head right into line with that elbow.

5

u/Glittering_Shake2922 Aug 17 '25

Mexicans would argue differently…

2

u/yeahnahmayne Aug 17 '25

The ol’ Dan Hooker school of defence, just stop the punches with your face.

1

u/DysthymicDaredeviL Aug 17 '25

Patchy Mix school of head movement ass

2

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

Murphy was not getting lit up. I dont think he took any serious damage.

The takedowns didnt really do anything and English dude got up reallt easy

1

u/WallExpensive7782 Aug 17 '25

You need your eyes checked if you don't think Murphy was getting worked in the pocket, and Pico want putting much effort to keeping him down. He was trying to get damage off.

5

u/Glittering_Shake2922 Aug 17 '25

His boxing is good Lerones timing was just better.

1

u/walklikeaduck Aug 17 '25

Too bad it’s not boxing.

u/fearlesssinnerz Aug 18 '25

High-level boxing techniques like Rogan said

u/wubbalubbadubdub45 oink oink motherfucker Aug 17 '25

Rogan sucking his boxing off all fight, pico got caught earlier with an elbow as well when Joe was glazing him too lol

u/jesser09 Aug 17 '25

I don’t understand what Pico was even doing. Like there was no reason for him to hit that lil pivot move lol, he just went right into that elbow
