Proceed Carefully: Aaron Pico and Mackenzie Dern serve as examples for why it might be wise for the UFC to pump the brakes a bit on Bo Nickal. via ToddMartinMMA
. When Pico made his MMA debut in Madison Square Garden in 2017, it generated so much attention that ESPN.com put it as the main story on its front page. It made sense for Bellator to build up his debut as much as possible in its quest to create young stars, but it ended up backfiring when Pico was rocked and submitted in less than 30 seconds by a much more experienced opponent.
Dern didn’t go quite as fast as Pico, but she also has progressed quickly in the sport. She was already in the UFC after five pro fights, and she was promoted prominently every step of the way. While it’s hard to argue she was rushed, her overall MMA game has not progressed as far as needed to reach the top of her division. That was apparent in her close loss to Yan.
