At UFC 319, Featherweight Aaron Pico Will Make His Bid For The Division’s Title Picture In His First Trip To The Octagon
As if the featherweight division needed another young contender in the mix, Aaron Pico makes his highly anticipated Octagon debut at UFC 319. The 28-year-old comes into the promotion having won nine of his last 10 bouts, and earning stoppages in 11 of his 13 wins since turning professional as a 20-year-old in 2017.
Pico, who was originally scheduled to face Movsar Evloev in Abu Dhabi before Evloev pulled out of the bout, is set to face the unbeaten Lerone Murphy. A win over “The Miracle” would catapult Pico into the division’s elite.
