Aaron Pico Warns Pitbull Before UFC 327: “Be Careful What You Wish For”

Aaron Pico approached his UFC 327 featherweight matchup with Patricio “Pitbull” much like any other fight. He made the remarks during a media day in Miami on Wednesday.

Background and buildup

Pico, who holds a 13-5 professional record, said the bout feels like business. He noted the pairing dated back to plans during their Bellator days.

That earlier scheduling made the fight in the UFC feel unlikely at the time. Now the matchup is set for UFC 327.

Pitbull’s recent UFC form

Patricio fought Yair Rodriguez in his UFC debut last year and lost. He rebounded by beating Dan Ige in his next outing.

Both of Pitbull’s UFC appearances went the distance. That experience adds a different dynamic to the upcoming fight.

Pico’s perspective after his debut loss

Pico’s own UFC debut ended in a stoppage loss to Lerone Murphy. He said the defeat hit him hard and brought some difficult days.

He emphasized the unseen sacrifices fighters make. Pico mentioned weight cuts, family strain, and the emotional toll on fighters.

Response and mindset

Pitbull had been calling for a meeting between the two. Pico replied that opponents should “be careful what you wish for.”

He now says he is having fun and feels at peace. Time with his son helped him move past the setback.
