The news of Aaron Pico joining the UFC was not lost on prominent featherweights.
Saturday’s UFC 314 features Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes fighting for the vacant divisional title, as well as another key matchup at 145 pounds, including Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva, Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio Freire, and Dan Ige vs. Sean Woodson.
Just days prior to the event, former Bellator standout Pico was confirmed to have signed a contract to join the UFC roster, and told MMA Junkie in his first interview afterward that he is eager to face all the elite in the weight class, and hear what they have to say about his signing.
