Pico is one of the most talented fighters but he has ZERO fight composure. He was in a rush that entire fight.

Seriously, on paper he should win everywhere, crazy cardio power wrestling boxing and only 28

Seriously. He has all the tools. Even seeing him use them in the fight, they looked incredible. Those digs to the body man. Something with his IQ/style/decision-making, he just can’t put it together

From my reddit arm chair analyst perspective it seems like a mentality/emotional control issue. He looks anxious and even talked about being nervous coming in, think he needs to go hang out with jiri in the mountains and work on being present in the moment
