He'd be awesome until he gets sick. Then he'd get knocked out again.

I think that he is probably correct. The cage and elbows really favor grappler's which he clearly is. The only problem is that UFC will stand fighters up more often then PRIDE did.

If Chris Leben is in the UFC, then why not Ricardo Arona?

Abso-fuckin-lutely. You never hear hockey fans bitching about penalties, football fans complaining about missed calls, NBA refs gambling, or boxing judges being biased do you?

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."
yeah just dont come down with bird flu like u did when u fought soko

If Arona comes to the UFC all we will see is Pride FC rematches

Arona's reaction to the steriods is pretty interesting.
A lot of people thought he was one of the guys who was definitely juicing.. guess not.

I'd like to see him in the UFC.
For some reason i have a sick need to see Tito vs Arona.
I know it would probably be boring.. but i still wanna see it
