Aaron Pico will now face former Oktagon MMA champion Losene Keita at UFC 333 on October 24, 2026, in Abu Dhabi.

Allen reportedly withdrew because he did not have sufficient time to heal from ongoing treatments for past injuries. Keita, who recently teased a short-notice fight on social media, steps in to face Pico, who holds a 1-1 record in the UFC after previously competing in Bellator MMA.
