Aaron
\nPico<\/a> is confident he can defeat Lerone
\nMurphy<\/a> in a rematch.<\/p>\n

Pico made his
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> debut against Murphy at
\nUFC 319<\/a> last year. Murphy knocked Pico out with a spinning back
\nelbow in the opening round and the latter now wants to run it
\nback.<\/p>\n

Why Aaron Pico wants another shot at Lerone Murphy<\/h2>\n

Pico believes he was beating Murphy before he got caught with the
\nspinning elbow. The former Bellator<\/a>
\nfighter is certain he beats Murphy in a rematch and believes a win
\nover the Englishman brings him closer to a title shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want that fight,\u201d Pico told MMA Junkie. \u201cAnd people are gonna
\nask me, \u2018Why do you want that fight?\u2019 I\u2019m a competitor; I want to
\nfight and get that one back. I mean, obviously, you watch the
\nfight, I was beating him up. I would have just been a little bit
\nsmarter and would have gotten that win. But there\u2019s a lot of
\nlessons that came because of the loss. And that\u2019s the reason that I
\nwould love to run it back. And why wouldn\u2019t I? He\u2019s Top 5 in the
\nworld, so it just puts me closer to fighting for a title and I know
\nI can beat him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pico (15-5) has since rebounded with wins over Patricio
\nFreire<\/a> and Losene
\nKeita<\/a>. Meanwhile, after beating Pico, Murphy (17-1-1) suffered
\nhis first professional loss in a featherweight title eliminator
\nagainst Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aaron Pico<\/a>
\nwould “love to” rematch his only UFC loss vs. Lerone
\nMurphy<\/a>. “It puts me closer to fighting for a title. And I know
\nI can beat him.” (via @MikeBohn) https:\/\/t.co\/IL8OI9WitC<\/p>\n
