Aaron Pico is a 29-year-old American featherweight and the division's No. 14-ranked contender, a decorated amateur wrestler and longtime Bellator prospect who pairs a world-class wrestling base with real knockout power in his hands. His UFC debut ended in a first-round knockout loss to Lerone Murphy in August 2025, but he picked up his first Octagon win with a unanimous decision over Patricio Pitbull at UFC 327 in April 2026. With durable veteran Arnold Allen forced out injured, he now faces late replacement Losene Keita at UFC 333.
