Aaron Pico UFC Debut

[DrRodentia]

Ortega is moving up to LW

Oh, so that's why not. Forgot about that.

 

[DrRodentia]

Yousef Zalal

Zalal, Murphy, and Allen would all make sense.

You sure Pico hasn't been in the UFC before? I remember hearing about Pico years ago.

Oh wait. That was Pico-grams!

Pictograms.

I think he might be facing Mosvar, I might be wrong, though.

Lmao no way, unless they just want to pad Movsar’s record and give him a layup before his title shot.

Idk if Pico even gets a ranked opponent yet. Have to imagine they are trying to build him up with a win or two first. Maybe #15 Dan Ige, but even he might blast Pico. Possibly Bryce Mitchell if he loses tomorrow, Pico might be able to bully him to a decision.

 

[Goat Poster]

Pitbull.

I don't like Dana but it would be hilarious to see him go to a press conference and say I make Bellator fights better than Bellator or sum shit like that.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

the loser of Yair vs Pitbull

 

[JoeRowe]

Zelal UFC 316 or 317. Put Aljo vs Allen on the same card, winners fight in the fall/winter

That would be a good one

I like the Evloev fight if they wanna throw Pico in the deep end. If they're paying Pico what he was getting in Bellator, he's probably not going to get any easy fights.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Imagine if he gets KO'd in his UFC debut just like his pro/Bellator debut.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

I'm not getting the Evloev match up here. Would be a total way to waste a showcase debut.

Since he's reached gatekeeper status now, what about Josh Emmett? A loss isn't going to affect his career that much. And it's a dangerous but winnable fight for Pico. Gonna be an ego battle where both guys will try to show everyone who is the hardest hitter, guaranteed crowd-pleasing banger.

Pico will 100% look to wrestle a hitter like Emmett, he's learned that his chin is trash.

 

[TheBulge]

Love Pico finally a friend of ours from the other side who can give us some good fights.

 

[Malaussie]

I think Steve Garcia would be a good matchup to showcase Pico to the UFC fans

 

[JustBleed69]

Someone around the bottom top 15 hopefully.

Sounds like you’re pretty low on Picto. What do you see in him that makes you think he’s overhyped?

 

[Ara tech]

Movsar is very tough. They could had given an easier fight to welcome him into the UFC like Chandler with Dan Hooker.

High risk but high reward. Movsar by decision probably.

Hot take but Pico is a very hard guy for Evloev to beat by decision...Evloev was already outwrestled by Grundy, Pico has much faster, crisper and powerful punching and likely will be the one scoring takedowns if it's either man. The only hitch is Picos chin and cardio, otherwise it's a nightmare fight for Evloev. Looks like this IS the fight THE UFC was trying to make but Evloev and his team are against it.
