Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
Striking defense
Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.
Counter punching
This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.
Takedown reaction
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Aaron Pico is a 29-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of USA, camped at Jackson-Wink MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 14-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (63).
What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 6.54 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 56% / 2.44 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 59% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (34, D). This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.
The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Pico yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
