people would be stupid not to agree! arona is build for the cage and ufc rules, hes topcontrol is awesome, and with elbows alowed and a cage to press his opponent up against, he would be very hard to fight against.

Arona would be a bad style match up for everyone at LHW in the UFC except Rampage, Hendo, Chuck and Lyoto. In other words, the guys that he might not be able to get down. Arona's standup is pretty pedestrian though, and he can be KO'd.

I love it! I wasn't the only one who was laughing his ass off at steroid users.

There wre many athletes who passed the drug test, but were still on steroids.

But UFC rules and octagon would probably really favor Arona.

Serious note I would like the UFC to sign him.. makes for much more match-up possibilities..

That made me LOL. I think UFC will not sign Arona because of his LnP reputation.

I would rather see him in M-1. UFC LWH division is way too stacked and good fighters are getting bad breaks, besides Dana's having a hard enough time figuring out who should be in contention for the belt. lets let M-1 help Aronas career get back on track.

I would love to see Arona in the UFC. Or anywhere for that matter, I've always been a fan of his despite the fact that most can't stand him.

I definitely believe that he could shine in UFC. He managed to stay solidly in the Top 10 under PRIDE rules, so under UFC rules that favor him more he could really do some damage. And I've always said that Tito is a poor man's Arona, so I'd like to see them go at it.

UFC no doubt has the most stacked 205 division around, but they should get the rest of the Top 10 (Arona, Minotoro, Sokoudjou) to solidify that and give us the fights we want.
