Former Pride FC 205 lb. contender Ricardo Arona disclosed to sherdog.com this week that the UFC is top on his list of potential suitors. “Because it (UFC) offers the best proposals and the best fighters, and it’s the best event and best show.” The Brazilian stand-out also went on to say that he thinks the rules in the UFC favor his style of fighting, citing the cage and the shorter 5 minute opening round. Clearly the cage has benefited many a ground and pound fighters before him.
It will be interesting to see how Arona will look after a year+ of lay-off from the sport. His recent inactivity, as he puts it, was to watch how the sport is changing from the outside. Can he make an impact in the most talent rich division all of MMA… who knows. All I know is that another top 10 caliber fighter can’t hurt, and we may get to see the rubber match between him and Wanderlei Silva. Sounds good to me.
