Anyway I wish to see him back again because he is a great fighter!

I think he'll make a good match againist Rampage or Anderson Silva. Ricardo to me is a heavier kos cause he has unstoppable take downs.Ufc needs the bests fights and he is 1 of the best Ricardo Arona a natural 200 pounder would be a get addition to 185 division or the 205 division, after seeing his fight with Fedor.

I was going to elaborate on this in my post, but I opted for simply saying "He'd be a perfect match up for a TUF winner to fight in his 2nd match, unless they have him on the Bisping-program." I was going to say that it will be at LEAST a year and a half after the completion of this season of TUF, before any of them will be considered near the top of the WW division, with the lone exception of Mac Danzig who has the experience to skip the TUF show, and just fight in the UFC.

Arona has been in some serious Wars in the past couple of years. I wouldnt mind seeing a rubber match between Arona and Wanderlei, since they each hold a win over the other. I would like to c Arona fight tito in his Octagon Debut. Arona is a phenomenal wrestle with great Brazilian ju Jitsu game. If they get a deal done with Arona, the LHW division will be only missing Sokoudjou and Rogerio Noguerra. It has to be the most complete division in the UFC.

I may have if he wasn't 1-3 in the last 2 years. To his defense, it was against top opponents, but if you can't beat the best, how do you expect to be the best. I'd group him with Tito Ortiz and consider them the gatekeepers to the UFC Top 10. He'd be a perfect match up for a TUF winner to fight in his 2nd match, unless they have him on the Bisping-program.

I just wish some of the lighter division fighters from Pride would get some love. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Aurelio and Chonan as far as fighters below light heavy. Sakarai is rumored to fight some time, but I haven't seen talk of anything lined up. Maybe it is just the desire for larger fighters in the US, while Japan favors smaller fighters. The majority of successful Japanese fighters have come from smaller weight classes, so perhaps they can get a better deal in Heroes. Either way it sucks, cause the lightweight division is the most fun division to watch imo. Just look at how many fight of the night winners have been lightweights this year. PS: Sign Hansen, Aoki, and Sakarai[/quote] I would love to c Shinya Akoi fight in the UFC, but I read an interview in which he said that he doesnt wanna leave Japan, and he still thinks that PRIDE is gonna make a comeback [quote comment=”151090″]Great addition.

Liddell and Jason Lambert should fight each other so that the loser can be declared the LHW fighter in the worst shape! Arona really needs to get rid of the Liddell-BeerGut, huh?
