Aaron Pico Eyeing Potential Matchup With Movsar Evloev

Featherweight fighter Aaron Pico has expressed interest in a future matchup with Movsar Evloev. The two were originally scheduled to compete in Abu Dhabi last year, but the contest was cancelled following an injury sustained by Evloev during his training camp.

Pico is coming off a knockout victory over Losene Keita at UFC 333, while Evloev suffered his first professional defeat on the same card against Alexander Volkanovski. Despite his interest in the fight, Pico noted that he does not expect Evloev to return to the octagon in the near future. While Pico is also interested in a rematch with Lerone Murphy, he continues to evaluate his options as he aims to climb into the featherweight title picture.
