Aaron Pico has maintained a relatively low profile on social platforms since his knockout defeat in his initial UFC bout, but recently, some video footage showcasing his training has emerged online for the first time in several months. During UFC 319 in August, the acclaimed former Bellator MMA competitor made his highly anticipated UFC debut. However, Pico found himself on the receiving end of a viral moment when Lerone Murphy landed a spinning back elbow, creating one of the year’s most impactful striking highlights.
While there have been occasional posts to his social media profiles following that challenging summer experience, these mostly focused on Pico’s personal life. Nevertheless, it appears the motivated, young fighter is once again allowing the public a glimpse into his current training regimen.

Public Reacts to Aaron Pico’s Training Footage on X
Although Aaron Pico shared this training video primarily on his personal Instagram page, the same content was also shared on the X account @RedCorner_MMA. Numerous followers expressed their thoughts on the mixed martial artist’s decision to share this insight into his workout sessions.
The feedback varied, ranging from the unfortunate commonplace trolling that MMA athletes frequently encounter in these digital spaces, to loyal supporters of Pico asserting that his UFC debut was merely a minor setback. A selection of these comments is provided below.
User @Mobb_Tv_ remarked,
“like pico but he need to be working on a Philly Shell”
@RyanIceeee commented,
“These comments are insane, pico was looking great vs lerone (until he wasn’t..). Clean some things up, work on fight IQ, but dude is a very dangerous fighter and could cause problems for lots of guys in his division.”
@CodeHunterX stated playfully,
“Real ones know his loss was a fluke”
@ApturoSupremacy observed,
“He finally woke up”
