In the upcoming UFC 319 event, featherweight contender Aaron Pico is set to make his debut against Lerone Murphy. This marks an exciting moment for Pico, who has previously competed in Bellator and PFL before joining the UFC.

Pico's opponent, Alexander Volkanovski, has already made his mark in the UFC, having claimed the vacant featherweight title in April by defeating Diego Lopez. However, Pico has expressed his intention to challenge Volkanovski for the title in the future, stating that Volkanovski should prepare for a potential match, as he has never faced a wrestler of Pico's calibre.

In a recent media day, Pico further stated that he believes his left hook or right cross will knock out Volkanovski if they were to fight. This confidence is not unfounded, as Pico is currently on a three-fight winning streak.

Interestingly, Volkanovski has also made a bold prediction. In response to Pico's challenges, Volkanovski stated that he would "paint the octagon with Pico" if they were to meet in the ring. It is unclear if any other UFC fighter or personality has made a similar statement regarding Pico in the available search results.

As for Pico's immediate focus, it is squarely on his upcoming fight against Lerone Murphy. With both fighters eager to make their mark in the UFC, UFC 319 promises to be an exciting event.
