This exciting featherweight (145 lbs) match will be the co-main event of the UFC Fight Night held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The card will be headlined by a middleweight clash between Robert Whittaker and Reinier de Ridder.\n\nPico, with a record of 13-4, has developed his entire professional career outside of the UFC so far. He signed a development contract with Bellator MMA in 2014, three years before his official debut. In his last ten fights, he has achieved an impressive record of 9-1 and was in line to contend for the featherweight title in Bellator when the promotion was acquired by the PFL earlier this year.\n\nIn his first UFC appearance, Pico will face a formidable opponent. Evloev, from Russia, holds an undefeated record of 19-0 over more than a decade of competition and is currently ranked number 4 in the UFC featherweight rankings. Evloev would likely have already fought for the UFC championship, but he has had difficulty securing high-profile opportunities, partly due to his high decision rate. Evloev&#8217;s nine UFC victories have come by decision.\n\nThe winner of this fight will position themselves as a strong contender for a future UFC title opportunity. The current champion, Alexander Volkanovski, has not yet scheduled his next title defense.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aaron Pico Debuts in the UFC against Movsar Evloev Aaron Pico&#8217;s highly anticipated UFC debut is scheduled for July 26th, where he will face Movsar Evloev in a five-round bout.
