Daniel Cormier: Aaron Pico is a Major Threat to Alexander Volkanovski and Featherweights
Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier has expressed his strong belief that Aaron Pico presents a substantial challenge for reigning featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski, and indeed, for the entire division. Cormier, a respected analyst and commentator, pointed out that Pico's evolution and current skillset make him a formidable opponent for anyone at 145 pounds.
According to Cormier, Pico has consistently improved, showcasing a well-rounded game that includes dangerous striking and improving grappling. This progression, he argues, positions Pico as a legitimate contender and a "real problem" for established fighters like Volkanovski. The analyst highlighted specific areas where Pico excels, suggesting that his power, speed, and tactical approach could trouble even the most dominant champions.
Cormier's assessment suggests that while Volkanovski has proven his dominance, fighters like Pico represent the next wave of talent capable of dethroning him. The featherweight division is known for its depth, and Cormier's comments underscore the emerging threat that Aaron Pico has become within this competitive landscape.
