UFC finally signed Aaron Pico, an MMA fighter ear-marked for greatness in the sport since before he even had his debut.
The former Bellator MMA standout will enter the market-leading combat sports promotion with a reasonable pro record of 13 wins against four losses but he is far more than that suggests, as he’s renowned for his extraordinarily violent finishes, having trained in boxing as a junior Golden Gloves champion from 2009 to 2011, before learning from Manny Pacquiao’s long-time coach Freddie Roach, at the Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, Los Angeles. In addition to his striking, though, Pico blended a background in wrestling — having trained in the sport since he was four years old.
What makes Pico so interesting is that he’s part of a new wave of fighter who has chosen to not become an expert in a single discipline, but, rather, someone who can become a well-rounded fighter who excels regardless of where the fight goes — on the feet, in the clinch, or on the ground.
