Aaron Pico spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Harry Corrales at Bellator 214. Highlights are below:

On the fight being his highest-profile fight to date: “I like to have that pressure on me every fight. It just brings a different type of urgency, a different type of focus. That’s why I’m so adamant about fighting tough guys – because when you fight tough guys, you wake up in the morning with a lot more energy, more inclined to do something.”

On taking the fight against a tougher opponent: “I’d rather get paid less money to fight a tougher guy. That’s just my mindset right now. I’m not worried about anything other than being the best. I get through this fight, I feel I’m in a position to be the youngest world champion in Bellator history.”
