    Just wondering has anyone heard anything about Ricardo Arona of late??? I heard he was considering a return to the sport.

    Don't think he's too hot on going to America but I would love to see him in the UFC...

    Arona was good but I don't think he was greatly missed by anyone when he stopped fighting.

    Well he's one of the few to beat Wand in his prime and give Feador a run for his money, and not get KO'd in the first like most.

    I think he's a great fighter and would love to see him back in the mix.

    IMO he beat fedor in that match and I'm a bigger fan or fedor than arona

    He had some serious leg kicks and good position control but lay and prayed too much

    He also ran about with his chin out far too much.

    On a good day he could take anyone in the top 5 in the LHW division

    On a bad day he would put everyone to sleep

    Agreed. But The Spider can have boring fights along with a lot of the rest of them.

    The LHW at the moment in the UFC needs some spicing up.

    Quick Q but it might be wrong info so please feel free to disregard. I hate being a rumourmonger but I seem to remember something about him not being able to travel to the US because of a criminal record? Am I right or wrong there it might have been for a grappling tournie.

    I don't know where I read it because it was at least 2 years ago. In fact, I may even be wrong and be confusing him with someone else.
