He would have an excellent chance of being a champion in UFC. I'd love to see him on top and able to elbow.

I mean pride was a refuge for every former ufc champ/fighter that failed a test right...Josh?

Besides he is right about his chances in the ufc, it favors his style big time and I think he would make more exciting fights than in pride because he could use the elbows. I hope Dana sees that and signs him.
his style is indeed perfect for the ufc, just as fedor's was not ...he (fedor) does not care for elbow strikes. I really like arona and I am sure that he will do very well!!!

Lol @ the yellow cards.

I'd love to see Arona in the UFC. There's really no one in the UFC LHW division that has the same skill set as him.

Im a huge Arona fan and he needs to be fighting again. I think he would do well in the UFC. Theres always going to be people saying hes boring because hes a groundwork specialist but im not one of those people.

Dana get Arona in the UFC ASAP!!

I've always said if Arona came to the UFC he could be the champ easily. He's right his style fits for the UFC.
I wonder why the UFC has not officially signed him yet. They bought Pride for this reason I thought. Although it seems the UFC just bought Pride for the DVD collection. WTF!!!!!!

I agree with you about Arona being a force in the UFC. But 99 percent seems high, did you know that 70% of all stats are made up on the spot?
