One can only hope...

You were going to fight the ADCC, but it was postponed to September. You said you would sign fot a MMA fight before... Is it right?



I received proposals, as I said, of Affliction, Dream and other events, but I just know that the ADCC was postponed to September and this moved a lot with my plans, it wasn’t what I wanted, no way. I don’t want to wait until September to fight, I will renegotiate before that to see if I fight the best proposal.





United States or Japan?



Man, actually a fighter has to go always in the best proposal, but today, I think is better for me to try America, United States.


UFC already spoke with you?



No, that’s what I said. Ultimate didn’t contacted me. I had contacts from Affliction, Dream, but had no position of the Ultimate.



MAN CRUSHES EVERYWHERE

ChokeEmOut -  Arona might be pretty damn tough in the cage with his takedowns and BJJ.


 Ive always thought this, with elbows and in a cage Arona would be tough to beat, when he was on form.

I can't wait to see Arona fight again

 Could be Fedor's opponent right there folks!

Arona hasn't been boring in a long, long time. He was very aggressive against Rampage, Wand the first time, Overeem, etc.

I would guess the UFC want to see how he does in a sanctioned org before signing another high dollar, high profile fighter who might well disappoint.

Kneeblock -  Arona has been cycling off.  Once that's done, he'll be irrelevant.


You're welcome.

Ultimate did not contact him? Where is Ultimate?!!!

 Affliction needs the only man ever to win rounds off of Fedor to be his opponent. A sauced to hell Arona at 220 is a great opponent for Fedor.

i think if arona is allowed elbows it would make his game more exciting to watch. He would be a force in the UFC.
