American fighter Aaron Pico, who is set to make his UFC debut on August 17 in Chicago, is confident he can handle the current featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski.
Aaron Pico for MMA Fighting
I feel I match up very well with Volkanovski, and I believe I can beat him. The power that I have in my hands, I can get him, and he’s never fought a wrestler like me. I have a lot of respect for him. But at the end of the day, he has what I want, and it’s that belt. So if I have to take out Alexander Volkanovski, and I get the opportunity to do it, I’m going to take him out.
Pico will face Lerone Murphy on August 17 at UFC 319. In February 2024 Aaron defeated Henry Corrales by technical knockout in the first round. His record stands at 13 wins and 4 losses.
Volkanovski last fought Diego Lopes in April this year at UFC 314, winning by unanimous decision. His record is 27 wins and 4 losses.
