Pico (0-1), the highly touted MMA prospect who was submitted by Zach Freeman in just 24 seconds at Bellator 180, will move down to featherweight after his unsuccessful lightweight debut. Linn (7-3) is coming off of back-to-back losses for the first time in his career, losing to Matthew Lopez and Cody Gibson respectively.
