AARON PICO EYES UFC 319 Debut
Pico kept silent about his cancellation of fighting until he had issued a social media statement on Thursday.
The frustrated 28-year-old called on his scrap with Evloev to be moved to UFC 319 on August 16.
'I'm not going to sugar jacket
“I get that things happen, and I really hope what's going on, you recover quickly.
“That said, my camps are not cheap, and I am ready to step there and start a show instead of later. I understand that there is an opening for us on August 16 in Chicago. We will not get promotions to make sick.
“I see you in Chicago, @movsar_evloev_94.”
