Watch Bellator 252 prelims: Fight card, start time, TV channel, live stream, how to watch

The transition from amateur wrestling to mixed martial arts has been anything but easy for Aaron Pico since making the jump in fall of 2017. He’ll return to the Bellator cage on Thursday in the featured preliminary bout of Bellator 252, and you’ll be able to watch it go down right here on CBSSports.com.

Pico is riding a two-fight winning streak after suffering back-to-back losses in the first half of 2019. Considered one of the top prospects in the history of MMA before ever stepping foot in a cage, Pico lost his debut fight before finding his groove with four straight victories. Then came the losses to Henry Corrales and Adam Borics, both by knockout and Pico was forced to try to build himself back up. But, at just 24 years old, the sky remains the limit for Pico. He will face John De Jesus in a featherweight showcase fight from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
