Ali Abdelaziz names fighter with better talent than Khabib Nurmagomedov and Kamaru Usman
Ali Abdelaziz has a very controversial opinion. Despite being witness to several champions like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Kamaru Usman, Islam Makhachev, and many others, Ali backs Bellator MMA prospects as the greatest talent inside the cage.
Aaron Pico must be something special if the manager of UFC greats, Khabib, Kamaru, and Henry Cejudo, rates him the highest. Recently Ali Abdelaziz, the CEO of Dominance MMA spoke to ESPN’s Marc Raimondi for ESPN MMA. The Bellator MMA featherweight currently trains at Jackson Wink MMA Academy and has also previously trained at the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Florida.
Abdelaziz, being the witness to Pico’s talent claims the featherweight tossed around with UFC champions in the gym with ease. Ali is confident that Aaron is the future of the sport and claims the 25-year-old sits at the same table as Usman, Khabib, Islam, and others in terms of talent.
“Aaron Pico. He’s top 2 or top 3 at 145-pounds today,” said Abdelaziz. “In the gym, I see Aaron play with UFC champions, play with them, you know. He’s the best talent I’ve ever seen, and I managed Kamaru Usman, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev.”

“The best talent at this age” Ali Abdelaziz has very high praise for the Bellator featherweight
“Aaron [Pico] and Umar Nurmagomedov, the best talent at this age I ever seen in my life. Some of the things these guys do, I never see anybody do. You understand?” said Ali talking to ESPN’s Marc Raimondi.
Aaron is a very huge prospect in Bellator’s featherweight division. The fighter is a must-watch at Bellator 277 as he returns to action against Adli Edwards. Pico is a rising star who is attempting to build one of the best career runs. Pico is the favorite against Edwards in the upcoming bout given his experience against high-level competition.
Aaron has a record of 9-3 in his MMA career. The fighter stems from a strong wrestling background, representing his country, the United States of America at an international level. Watch Abdelaziz’s full interview with ESPN MMA below:
