News Aaron Pico officially signs with the UFC

Pico is such a young prospect.
I hope they don't throw him at the deep end just from the get go. Let's build him up while his brain is still developing.

He's turning 29 this year, I think we're past the point of him being a wet behind the ears combat sports newbie. But hey, maybe he will become the next Erick Silva. :)

If a fighter wants people to see him fight, they need to fight in the UFC. It's an unfortunate reality of modern MMA.

I used to watch other promotions but since the dissolution of pride it has been painful, like regressively painful, watching anything else that I’ve tried to.

It’s like going back to the Goldberg and it goes so heavy on the turd polish. Even when they get something good they tend to make it look like shit in contrast.
 
Here for this. Wouldn't be against the suggested Ortega fight. Hope we see Amosov, McKee and Mix next.
 
Give him someone fringe top 10-15.

Extremely fan friendly style, ufc is gonna want to build him a little first

I like watching a few of the feeder leagues like LFA and CFFC because they don't pretend to be anything they aren't. Lots of good prospects come through there and they usually put in a good show.

The problem is when promotions like PFL or Bellator try to pretend that they're just as big as the UFC, without ever mentioning the UFC.

It feels like bizarro world the whole time, and some of the production choices are just shockingly bad.

We? Are “we” the UFC?
Why didn’t “we” snatch Usman Nurmagomedov or Paul Hughes instead?

No point on getting Usman until Islam moves up or retires IMO.

And have no issues with Paul Hughes. I only brought up AJ beceause of the years of what if conversations. It would be nice to finally get answers

Fair. But I have a feeling Islam moves up very soon, so it wouldn’t be an issue.

I like him but the idea that this guy is going to get paid less then 75k a year if wins 3 fights is insane. We all know him he should be min 100k 100k to win at worst. The ufc is a fucking scam

Do you know the details of his contract?? I can guarantee you he's gonna get paid a lot more than 75K a year for 3 fights.

There's no way he has a standard entry level contract.
