Arnold Allen scratched from UFC 333 fight with Aaron Pico

MMA Fighting • September 18, 2026 • sports

Key Points:

Brad Allen has been removed from his scheduled fight against Aaron Pico at UFC 333 on October 24 due to ongoing rehabilitation from previous treatments, not a new injury.
Allen is recovering well but will not be ready to compete in time for the event, with hopes to return before the end of the year.
Aaron Pico will still compete at UFC 333, now facing Losene Keita, who recently secured a first-round knockout and earned a Performance of the Night bonus.
Pico is coming off his first UFC win, a decision victory over Patricio Pitbull in April, while Allen last won by decision against Melquizael Costa in May.
