Aaron Pico explains why he is firmly against the future fight with Patricio ‘Pitbull’ before the beginnings of the UFC 319
The featherweight competitor of the UFC, Aaron Pico, has no interest in taking care of unfinished affairs with a former Bellator champion.
Aaron Pico is a few days old to make his long -awaited debut in UFC this Saturday at the UFC 319 against Lerone Murphy. In a potential fight n ° 1, Pico and Murphy will come up against a short-term reservation in the co-principal event of the UFC 319.
Pico, one of the largest signatures in the UFC in recent years, will seek to send a message to the rest of the featherweights during its first appearance in an octagon. After failing a Bellator title during his long passage, he was focused on the laser so that the victory of the title of the UFC becomes a reality.
In addition to his preparations for the UFC 319, Pico has kept an attentive eye on the man he used to continue in the Bellator Featherweight division. Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire has been 1-1 since his signature of the UFC earlier this year, and called Pico to settle unfinished affairs in their new promotion.
Aaron Pico stops Patricio ‘Calout de Pitbull after the UFC 318
Despite recent Pitbull calls, Pico has no interest in granting Pitbull’s desired combat, regardless of what is happening this weekend in Chicago.
During a recent interview with CBS Sports“Shakiel Mahjouri, Pico responded to Pitbull’s latest call after UFC 318.
“I saw his first fight live, I didn’t look at her last … I don’t really care [fighting him]”Said Pico.
“It has had many opportunities to fight me in Bellator and I asked to fight it for a consecutive whole year, and for any reason, that never happened. I am very happy that it is not because I beat Patricio ‘Pitbull’, I win the championship and I am locked up [in the PFL].
“He has had every opportunity to fight me, but now he says” Oh I want to fight it, I want to fight it “, but we are completely different at the moment. I am not focusing on him, I focus on the fight for the championship.”
Pico was supposed to fight Movsar Evloev earlier this year at UFC Abu Dhabi before Evloev retired due to an injury. When writing these lines, a calendar for the return of the undefeated featherweight to the octagon is uncertain.
If Pico is victorious this weekend at the UFC 319, he could win the next title against Alexander Volkanovski. Meanwhile, Pitbull won his first UFC victory against Dan Ige at UFC 318 last month to win a place in the top 15.
Jon Jones praised the “character” of Khamzat Chimaev before the title of UFC 319
Before UFC 319, Khamzat Chimaev raised praise from one of the greats of all time. Chimaev will face the average weight champion of the UFC Dricus du Plessis in the main UFC 319 event after an undefeated race inside the octagon.
Jon Jones congratulated the “character” of Chimaev after the undefeated average weight labeled Jones the most scary in the history of the UFC. Jones retired in June but has since announced its intention to return to the octagon next year on the planned map of the UFC to the White House.
If Chimaev is victorious this weekend, he will get closer to taking the old place of Jones in the Pound for Pound ranking of the UFC.
