Bellator 214’s main-card played host to a stunning comeback knockout from Henry Corrales as he absolutely decimated Aaron Pico after some early adversity.
This is why we love MMA, folks!
You really never know when things are going to switch-up dramatically at Bellator last night, we were treated to one of the most shockingly devastating KO’s of the year so far.
Aaron Pico came into this showdown with quite a bit of hype behind him – hype he well and truly deserved given both his pedigree in boxing and freestyle wrestling on top of his stellar performances inside the cage so far.
And for a while, it did seem as though the prospect was going to add another hugely impressive win to his resumé. Knocking his more experienced opponent down early – Pico went in for the kill only to let his defenses lapse dramatically – something that allowed Corrales to connect with a stunning right-hand that left the 22-year-old flattened out on the canvas.
Dang, Henry Corrales’ knockout of Aaron Pico was f***ing vicious! Pico went head hunting after dropping him, didn’t keep his defence up and paid for it big time.
A big lesson for the prospect, who’ll no doubt learn from this and come back better than ever. #Bellator214 pic.twitter.com/IqQWm0KKsy

We’ve included the live reaction of Joe Rogan and co. from the most recent edition of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast simply because of how completely crazy they went upon seeing Corrales flatten the prospect Pico.
