Losing the first time against Corrales was after all something positive for Pico's career: He only wants to use his boxing in this title run and after losing this fight after almost getting the KO win make him take the hard way to the top and really evolve as MMA fighter. 

The Shoulder injury against Kennedy was something unfortunate that kept him out for a long time and ended his winning streak, but now Aaron is a real well-rounded MMA Fighter. 

He can choose between continuing in Bellator and looking for Pitbull or moves to PFL and has a really good chance to be PFL Season Champion at 145 pounds or even 155 pounds without OAM, the path is open for him in either of the 2 weight classes

Pico's evolution was a joke for awhile in the mma community but i'm glad to see it's legitimately happening. Rarely do "exposed" prospects end up making the correct adjustments to work towards becoming elite.

Pico second coming

Everyone thinking Pico is second coming of Jesus Christ based of banging out Corrales in his twilight years take a step back. Pico will most likely lose to anyone in Bellator or PFL top 5

I’m allowed to share my opinion though. I wasn’t trashing on anyone, just sharing my disdain for the way pfl is run; you may not like to hear it, but I actually want the pfl to do well. I have seen every event they’ve put on since they joined espn and it hasn’t changed at all. It’s very annoying to see they still haven’t addressed things like bad matchmaking or how to run an actual production. If you don’t like to see complaining then hide my messages

@AyyLmaonnaise 
it's all valid criticisms and I actually agree with most of it it is just beyond repetitive at this point going beyond just you.  all over this site and all other places of mma discussion there is much more *****ing about the production and decisions by PFL than the fights themselves.  it gets annoying when you want to actually discuss the fights and instead you see a bunch of emotional grown men having a therapy session.  most of the people doing it are dana bootlickers in one of their first experiences with another promotion so it's understandably that they're completely ignorant.  i prefer to deal with what actually is rather than being emotional about what isn't.

I thought Clay would at least last a round but AJ is just too slick.
