5 possible opponents for Aaron Pico

#4. Pico vs. Pedro Carvalho

Another possible opponent for Aaron Pico is Pedro 'The Game' Carvalho. Carvalho is ranked fifth, so it’d make sense if Bellator matched up the No.4 and No.5-ranked 145-pounders. In his most recent bout, 'The Game' defeated Daniel Weichel by unanimous decision to end his two-fight losing streak.

Prior to his bout with Justin Gonzalez at Bellator 271, Pico gave his thoughts on possibly fighting Carvalho in the future. He said that it didn’t matter who he fought and that he’d be open to fighting 'The Game.'

If Bellator were to book Aaron Pico vs. Pedro Carvalho, the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, would be a great option. 'The Game' resides in Dublin and fights out of popular Irish gym SBG Ireland. With that in mind, it’d be interesting to see how Pico would react to the crowd's response.

#3. Pico vs. Jeremy Kennedy

Another possible opponent for Pico is Jeremy 'JBC' Kennedy. The 29-year-old Canadian is coming off an impressive unanimous decision win over former title-challenger Emmanuel Sanchez. It was a dominant win for Kennedy as all three judges scored the bout 30-27.

'JBC' has a wealth of experience competing in major promotions. Prior to joining Bellator, he fought in the UFC and PFL, and had a winning record. In fact, he went 3-1 in the UFC with his only loss coming against current UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. He also had a winning record in the PFL at 2-1-1 NC. He has proven to be a good signing by Bellator as they continue adding more depth to their roster.

Kennedy defeating a former title-challenger like Sanchez fast-tracked him up the rankings and a fight with Pico could be inevitable. Since 'JBC' is currently the No.7-ranked Bellator featherweight, he may need one more win before getting in the title picture.
