Pico goes down - Yappi Sports

Pico taps out in the 1st round, clocks the guy with a right and goes in for a shot and gets choked out, if you hurry you can find it on youtube right now

search Pico vs Freeman on YouTube, they get posted and taken down so quick its pointless for me to post a link

He had a good punch and rushed a takedown, got caught in the wrestler killer, guillotine choke.

It's been a strange card. Including Pico apologizing to his dad for the loss right after coming to his feet.

Live and learn. McGregor lost his 3rd and 6th matches by submission. Learn and live to fight another day.

Rushed a takedown? Looked to me like he got hit with an uppercut and started to go down and fell into the choke

Agreed.

Wrestlers who fight and fighters are different machines. With exceptions of course.

Just watched the fight.

Recognizing submission attempts is something that will take time. Being a great wrestler and a good boxer should take him a long way but he'll need to pick up some BJJ along the way to keep from getting caught like that.

He was rocked, he couldn't recognize where he was at that point. He got out striked which is something he was supposed to be good at. In my opinion the kid was overly anxious and insanely nervous. When the ref was setting them prematch he ran out to the center to shake hands or something and the ref had to tell him to go back.

He had to over come his environment which was something they couldn't teach him in a gym. They did him a disservice of starting him on such a big stage versus a above average opponent.

Pico didn't make the Olympic wrestling team, is not an Olympic level boxer, and gets taken out in his first bout in MMA. Again - he is still very young and this will have to be his sport to conquer since it is unlikely he will wrestle again to make an Olympic team. Who knows if he'll ever be good enough to be a champ in MMA. I assume he very well could be as long as he takes it slow. Could become the Sergio Garcia of MMA - but then again, Sergio got it done this year - finally.

Agreed. Fighting a veteran fighter who is 8-2 and probably came through all the $hit just to get to this 'stage.'

Everybody has got caught before. Including Pico

eliwes · #16 06-26-17, 08:02 PM

the average man has to work 16 years to make what Pico made in 24 seconds. I doubt he makes the next pay per view card imp.

No Love got knocked out early in his career, video on youtube somewhere. look at him now!
