Arona : "UFC rules were taylor made for me"

TATAME



Without a contract with a big organisation, the BTT black-belt guarantees that the UFC rules were made perfect for his game. "the UFC rules were made for me. When they put me there it will be hell. Nobody will stop me. Everything favors me, the rules, the time zone. These rules with vaseline in your face, elbows and 5 minute rounds were made for me. I am used to fighting 20 minutes. Apart from the rules, you also cannot use steroids, and there are a lot of people falling because of that. I never used steroids, and I am laughing my ass off of these people that are falling because of it. I have no problems because of it."

Seriously. Imagine Arona's top control with elbows allowed. The guy will be what Tito was four-five years ago. Arona pressing someone against the cage then firing huge elbows is a scary thought. He could give anyone a fit.

Plus, like whenimondamic said, no yellow cards and that does work in a grapplers favor most the time.

Ill believe he doesnt take steroids when he passes the drug test and still looks like the Arona that fought in Pride.

UFC rules do fit Arona better than PRIDE's did, imo.

I think Arona would be deadly in the UFC. But 99% of UFC fans and people on this board would not agree with me

I don't think your right. Mostly everyone on here knows that Arona is highly skilled, many don't like him because he can get a little boring. I don't think anyone will deny he would be a great addition and me successful in the UFC.
