Quick read
Former Jackson Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov has described Aaron Pico as one of the most physically devastating sparring partners he ever witnessed, with partners routinely leaving with broken ribs and orbital bones. Multiple training partners refused to continue sparring with Pico even for payment, and many simply stopped returning to the gym. The situation became so extreme that Pico began traveling to other gyms to find willing partners, eventually beginning to train in Morocco where local partners are flown in for him. Pico's relationship with fellow Jackson Wink standout Steve Garcia deteriorated after Pico injured him multiple times, leading the two to train separately.
