that's actually a solid mentality. getting knocked out in your debut is brutal, but the guys who come back from that and don't make excuses tend to improve fastest. pico's fought at a high level in bellator so he's not some random — he just needs to adjust to the ufc's pace and striking. pitbull's a legit test though, this isn't a gimme comeback fight.
