To reach Aaron Pico's world-class MMA level, you would need to start with a strong wrestling foundation (4-5 years), develop elite striking skills (3-4 years), and gain extensive fight experience (2-3 years). This requires 5-6 days weekly of intense training including wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, strength conditioning, and sparring. You'd need to compete regularly in amateur and professional fights while receiving coaching from top-tier MMA gyms.

Most fighters who reach this level begin training before age 18 and maintain extreme dedication to the sport.
