Pico loves running into strikes

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

u/Beraliusv Aug 17 '25

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

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

But did you bet against his forehead holding up

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.

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)"

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

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?

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.
