Bellator’s youngest prospect Aaron Pico recently defeated 2013 world wrestling champion David Safaryan.

Pico signed with Bellator earlier this month (Read about that HERE), and plans to compete in the 2016 Olympics.

There has been no word yet as to when Pico will be making his Bellator debut, or who he will be facing, however what combat sports fans have learned from his recent win in the wrestling world is that when Pico does make his MMA debut, it will be with high expectation.

BloodyElbow broke the news of Pico’s win.
