Movsar Evloev (19-0-0) and Aaron Pico (13-4-0) will clash at UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday night. Evloev will be looking to give Aaron Pico a rude welcome to the franchise and extend his impeccable winning record. According to Dana White, the Russian bruiser could finally get his title shot against Alexander Volkanovski in the featherweight division. However, signs indicate that Yair Rodriguez could be the one to get a crack at a title. Still, a win for Evloeav could boost his chances.
Aaron Pico, on the other hand, only joined the franchise in April this year. The 28-year-old spent his entire career at Bellator MMA, where he boasts an impressive KO record of 9-3. Pico comes into this assignment having won his last three assignments, including KO wins at Bellator 299 and PFL Champions vs Bellator Champions. He'll definitely be eager to get off to a great start and announce his intentions in the featherweight division.
