Aaron Pico, previously a prominent fighter in Bellator, is now set to compete in the UFC. The question is, can he replicate his Bellator success in this new arena?
The 28-year-old featherweight officially announced his move to the UFC on Monday. This announcement has ignited speculation about when he will make his debut and who his first opponent in the UFC will be. Pico arrives in the promotion with considerable buzz, boasting a 13-4 record in Bellator, highlighted by numerous knockout victories.
منذ اليوم الأول ، كان بيكو موضوع تدقيق مكثف. ظهر لأول مرة في فنون القتال المختلطة للمحترفين في سن 20 عامًا ، ووصفه الخبراء بأنه احتمال كبير ، لكنه سقط أمام زاك فريمان في مفاجأة مذهلة. وواصل الفوز في 12 من مبارياته الـ 16 التالية ، وكانت آخر انتصاراته عبارة عن إنهاءات في الجولة الأولى للمحاربين القدامى هنري كوراليس وبيدرو كارفالو.
Pico had one fight under the PFL banner after they acquired Bellator in November 2023. He now enters the UFC`s competitive 145-pound division.
Fan opinions on this significant signing are divided. Some predict even greater stardom for Pico, while others suggest that the pressure and spotlight of the UFC octagon might be too much for him to handle.
Here are some fan reactions:
