Arona would be tough in the UFC but he can be super boring to watch. I see too much lay n pray.

I’m always up for seeing another old PRIDE face in the octagon. Even though I’ve never been much of an Arona fan, I like his chances in the UFC. He’s a solid fighter with great takedowns and even better BJJ. I think he could make an impact in the LHW division.

Let’s see him and Houston Alexander go at it for his debut

I still think had it not been for his cockiness, Arona would have beat Rampage when they fought. All he had to do was sink in the choke earlier or just keep attacking, that upkick fucked Rampage up. But yeah, I agree with most of what you said...I don't think that Chuck would be able to beat him though. Honestly, I think Arona woulda outmuscle him and get him to the ground. Chuck stands up from all the TD's but he also shows his back when he does so, which is a bad move against Arona. I'd pick Arona by UD or sub in that fight to be honest....either way, he'd be great in the UFC. If the UFC wants to be the best organization, they need to pick up the best fighters, not just the most marketable ones (Brock)

Apart from the rules, you also cannot use steroids, and there are a lot of people falling because of that. 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."

Someone give him a shot of Barnett or Sylvia in the UFC to show him some other "steroid" physiques.

Its true, they do favor Arona's style and he'd do very well in the UFC. But what is UFC rules

IMO, it favors wrestlers mostly, prevents good stand up and grappling and promotes more or a boring fight. Yeah!!!!!!I love these rules, cant wait to see Arona the UFC (sarcasm) I prefer him, or anyone in a ring.
