Aljamain Sterling Reveals Aaron Pico's Upcoming Fight Against Youssef Zalal

Aljamain Sterling recently indicated that Aaron Pico is scheduled to fight Youssef Zalal, as part of discussions about future matchups in the UFC.

During a podcast, Sterling mentioned that the UFC had floated names for potential fights, confirming that Pico's matchup with Zalal is already booked. He also referenced Kevin Vallejos as another potential opponent, though he expressed doubts about the relevance of that matchup for himself.

Pico is currently ranked lower than Zalal in the Meta rankings, which adds context to the matchup. Sterling, who is pushing for a title shot, noted that the UFC's suggestions for his next fight may not align with his aspirations for a championship opportunity.
