Cleared after shoulder surgery, Aaron Pico believes this is the year he’ll be Bellator champion

Aaron Pico Bellator Surgery Jeremy Kennedy

COSTA MESA, Calif. – Aaron Pico is expecting Bellator to book him to fight in April.

Pico (10-4 MMA, 10-4 BMMA) dislocated his shoulder in a TKO loss to Jeremy Kennedy last October at Bellator 286 where doctors intervened to stop the fight at the end of Round 1 after Pico attempted to pop his shoulder back in. The 26-year-old underwent surgery and says he’s 100 percent ready to return.

“I had surgery in October and rehabbed the crap out of it,” Pico told MMA Junkie. “Now I’m fully cleared to fight so, they’re working on a fight for me. I’m looking to fight in April.”
