== Mixed Martial Arts Career ==
He has fought mainly for the Cage Rage organization. Pickett’s first appearance was on November 27, 2004 with a win over Stuart Grant. Pickett became the British Cage Rage Featherweight Champion on September 10, 2005 at Cage Rage 13 by defeating Ozzy Haluk via tap out following a flying footstomp to the face. Pickett later lost the belt to the tough Robbie Olivier by Rear Naked Choke. He is the former Ultimate Challenge UK Featherweight champion.
On August 22, at Ultimate Challenge: Payback (held in The Troxy, London), Brad Pickett won his seventh successive mixed martial arts bout against David Lee. Brad’s win came due to a Guillotine Choke during the first round in which Lee came out very aggressive, but could not match Pickett’s skill on the ground.
=== World Extreme Cagefighting ===
On October 30, 2009, the Zuffa-owned WEC announced they had signed Pickett to a multi-fight deal. Pickett, fighting at bantamweight, made his WEC debut against Kyle Dietz on December 19, 2009 at WEC 45. He won the fight via second round submission, also winning Submission of the Night Honors.
Pickett next faced WEC newcomer Demetrious Johnson on April 24, 2010 at WEC 48. He won the fight via unanimous decision.
He returned at WEC 50 Cruz vs Benavidez 2, where he faced Scott Jorgensen, a fight that had major title implication with the WEC Bantamweight title. The sometimes-frantic affair left both competitors bruised and bloodied, and each connected on power shots throughout the three-round affair. But Jorgensen consistently proved quicker to the draw, and as the fight slowly morphed into an all-out slugfest in later rounds, it worked to his favor. Despite a close first round, the three cageside judges awarded Jorgensen all three rounds for a Decision (Unanimous) win via scores of 30-27. The fight went on to win the Fight of the Night Honors.
