The two athletes would initially face each other in the Bellator 257 which took place on April 16th. However, the Olympic wrestling star had an undisclosed medical issue, which forced the clash to be postponed.

Known due to his history in American Olympic fighting, Aaron Pico was hired by Bellator in 2017 when he had not even debuted in professional MMA. The fighter has since recorded seven victories and three defeats, all with the organization chaired by Scott Coker. In his last fight, the 24-year-old fighter knocked out John de Jesus in the second round in November 2020.

With a record of nine wins and four losses, Aiden Lee has won two consecutive victories. Signed by Bellator in 2019, he debuted with a loss to Saul Rogers but recovered and beat Damian Frankiewicz and Jeremy Petley in a row.

The show will be headlined by a fight for the welterweight belt (up to 77,1kg) between the Brazilian Douglas lima and Ukrainian Yaroslav Amosov. The show will be held at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut (USA).
