Who knows...usually someone denying something obviously doesn't mean that they're innocent, but him calling people out for steroids is pretty surprising.

yeah because of it. Just because of it. Or because of it?

In a cage he can get any LHW down guaranteed. Chuck would be the worst match up for him. He's already beat Hendo, and had Rampage out but he let up and Page fucked him up.

UFC rules totally benefit Arona. He would l'n'p his way to countless victories without breaking a sweat.

Arona would be a much better addition than the likes of chris leban or bisping. Yeah, those 2 might be better known to the casual fan but given a couple of fights, Arona will earn the respect.

Not his biggest fan, since he gets a little boring to watch, but with UFC rules and judging he could be a title holder, very strong grappling, just pressing people against the cage and throwing some strong eblows, great top control.

I must be in the 1%. I think Arona could run through most of the competition in the UFC. I would like to see a rematch with Rampage. He was in control of that fight until the infamous slam.

I disagree about him being a valuable addition to the UFC, solely because of how the UFC keeps and markets fighters based on their fights. Arona would be even more boring in the UFC laying in people's guards and doing nothing with no yellow cards, from an investment standpoint for the UFC it would be horrible decision.

I don't like his style or his excuses. But I can't disagree that the ufc will favor him more.
