He would be viscous with elbows, and if he were able to combine his takedown abilities with the old tactic of pushing the opponent up against the cage, he would indeed be a dangerous fighter.

Plus there is always the opportunity for the rematch with Rampage, that could be entertaining.

I think 99% of the TUF noobs would agree with that statement. Anyone who knows anything about MMA knows that Arona is a monster and would do some serious damage in the UFC. I agree with his comments that his game is well suited for the cage.

I like arona, but that is awful bigtalk considering you do not even have a contract yet

[savak]

I agree as well that the UFC is great for him. Hes a strong upper-boddied grappler and the cage is great for his types.

plus hes one of the few people who wandy worries about, or who at least got in wandy's head.

Arona will become LHW champ for sure. None will stop his takedowns and none will be able to escape on the ground.

Of all the inactive guys he's the one I most looked forward to seeing fight in the UFC. I'm anxious to see how well he does with elbows and a cage.

Gah, this shit is sooooooo annoying. I know I put on muscle pretty easily. It is perfectly reasonable for a PROFESSIONAL athlete to achieve that build. So why speculate? He's not one of these he-man action figure looking guys just in great shape who probably does some weights. What's the big deal?

Good. Now Pride rules are dead, he will start losing to 205 lb'ers again.
