Insider info
Patricio Pitbull favored over Aaron Pico lean UFC 327 · April 5, 2026
Picked to win, with the analyst explicitly admitting he could be totally wrong given real questions about whether he's still in his physical prime.
A genuinely complete fighter. On the feet he hits hard, slips in and out of range sharply, and his counter-striking is a real weapon, often luring an opponent forward before cracking them as they close in. He moves his head well, builds combinations around a favorite two-three, three-two pairing, and throws a heavy calf kick. Patience is part of his identity, which can mean lower output here -- likely a deliberate plan to bait a greener opponent into rushing out of frustration. He's just as complete on the ground: a nasty guillotine he can use offensively to climb back up after being taken down, real difficulty for anyone trying to take him down, and heavy ground-and-pound plus takedowns of his own when he wants them. The concern is mileage -- an enormous fight count raises real doubts about whether his prime years are still ahead.
