Overeem will gas like he always does.. which will piss me off to no extent. I'd hate to see his tall ass taken down and subbed at ease after 5 minutes when he's too tired to defend. Then again.. this is Arona we're talking about.. make that a 20 minute decision victory instead.

I think to make it interesting, Arona needs to man up and fight some heavy weights. He's much too big and boring to keep fighting the small 205ers. He's easily one of the larger 205ers on the planet. Not even the biggest guys, but someone like Nastula is perfect. That'd be a war. Yoshida would also be good, but the poor bastard is likely in a wheel chair for all we know. If Sergei wasn't fighting Aleks, I'd love to see him too.

I know I shouldn't be laughing at this, but for some reason the part about Yosh had me cracking up. I know, I know, I should be ashamed.

He sholdn't fight at all. No matter who he'll fight the fight will be boring.
Arona has a talent of making boring fights.
P.S - Even Arona-Rampage for me was boring. althou the great knockout

I'd like to see him fight Nastula. Someone mentioned Nakamura earlier, but I think Arona is too strong for him. Nastula would be a great battle IMO.
