Eh, if you want to make that joke shouldn't it be, "Arona versus a mattress." ?

Anyway, I think a match with Overeem would be interesting. It could determine the runner up from last year's GP, so to speak.

lol the man is not the most exciting fighter around but it would be interesting to see since u gotta admit he's not exactly easy to beat when he's injury free. Arona-Nak, Arona-Nastula, Arona-Overeem, and Arona-Zenstov could make for some very interesting fights.....


Arona is a blanket and all, but he has a habit of making the most menacing fighters look not so great, (the Silva fights for example). Seeing Arona getting KTFO would be fun too, but again its not the easiest task in the world.......

Any more input on potential match-ups?

I think a Randleman match wouldnt be that bad. Maybe a shogun rematch.

can't wait to see him back, him v another grappler would be good as they'd neutralise eachother so it would turn into a standup war

nakumura would be a good choice

Yoshida or Nakamura would be fine opponents for him.
