Aaron Pico and Patricio Pitbull exchange words before Saturday showdown

Aaron Pico responded to Patricio "Pitbull" Freire's comments about having "stone fists and a glass chin" by saying they will settle everything on Saturday. Pitbull immediately countered, stating he hopes Pico trained his defense extensively because Pico usually doesn't defend against anything. The Brazilian added that typically when Pico gets knocked out, he returns fighting more as a grappler and wrestler, so Pitbull is taking Pico's words into consideration. The exchange suggests both fighters are engaging in verbal sparring ahead of their bout. A poll asked fans who they see as the favorite and why, with options for Pico or Pitbull.
