Aaron Pico fights at featherweight in the UFC.
Whittier, California is his birthplace. He moved to Albuquerque in 2019 and trains at Jackson Wink MMA Academy, and Zach Freeman submitted him with a guillotine at 0:24 of the first round on June 24, 2017, in his pro debut.
Before the UFC he won a U17 world title in wrestling, a 2008 national pankration title, the 2008 National PAL boxing title, and the 2009 National Junior Golden Gloves. He skipped college, he went from wrestling straight into fighting, and his son Valentino was born in 2021.
Eight wins ended in the first round. The UFC lists an Octagon debut on July 26, 2025, and the first filed bout is the stoppage loss to Lerone Murphy on August 16, 2025.
