Aaron Pico has an idea about what he might do if he doesn’t get another MMA fight booked soon, and it’s going to sound a little out there.
If the Bellator featherweight contender doesn’t know what his next step is reasonably soon now that Bellator is owned by the PFL, he might take a shot at making the Olympic wrestling team. But the Californian won’t be trying to get on the mats to chase a medal for the U.S. It would be for Mexico.
“Give me a time frame of when you think I’m going to fight, because if it’s six months, eight months – listen, I have goals,” Pico told MMA Junkie Radio. “I’ll go wrestle, honestly. I’ll go try to make the Mexican Olympic team, Paris in 2024. I’ll go box. I’ll keep myself active. But I just want to have some sense of direction of time of when I’m going to fight.”
