    In the UFC?

    Due to make his bow for the organisation by the end of this year.

    The guy's a big unit, and has a lot of good wins in Pride. Think he can make a good showing in the packed UFC Light Heavyweight division? (I take it he'll be fighting at Light Heavyweight)

    Not sure. Arona's been out for ages. But the cage may suit him more as he's an accomplished grappler. Surprised SF didnt snap him up or DREAM. Not sure why he's been out for sooo long.

    I don't know how much he has left but i still like to see him in the ufc. He has great jiujitsu but his stand up is whack. Well at least the last time i saw him. i don't know if his been working on it since.

    Very true about the stand-up.

    He assumes a very awkward looking stance on his feet.
