The win moves Pico to 1-1 as a pro, and there's no doubt his hype train will gain steam once again after the ferocious knockout. 

"First of all, hats off to Justin [Linn]," Pico said in an official statement from Bellator. "He's a great competitor and I knew it was going to be a tough fight. It feels good fighting at 145 pounds. This is my natural weight and it felt great. I'm going to have to watch the replay of this fight because I'm not even sure how I hit him, it was just very instinctual.

"I always knew that I had very powerful hands and I'm not being cocky, I'm just confident because I spar with some of the best boxers in the world over at Team Bodyshop in Long Beach. The key to this fight was just relaxing because I knew that as long as I was relaxed in there, my skillset was going to show."
