Our Partners from TATAME send us this story:

"It's been since August, when he got injured during training for the Pride GP first round, Ricardo Arona is back to his regular activities. 100% recovered from the ligaments and heel problems that obliged Murilo Bustamante replace him in a hurry against Quinton Jackson, Arona is already training and teaching at Alexandre Pequeno's World Fight Center academy, in Niterói (RJ).

About the future, the athlete says that now he will have to sit down with his teammates to decide. "Zé Mário Sperry and Murilo Bustamante returned at this days from Japan and I'll deal with them. There is the December 31 Pride that I'll love to participate," told Arona, saying: "The most important is that I'm totally recovered and I want to forget all this problems."

Arona is a major wild card in the 205 divison. He defintly has a chance to beat anyone at 205, but I don't think I could pick him over any of the top guys right now

He's good but sooo boring. The closest he'll come to finishing someone is a unanimous decision.

I think he needs a rematch with Mezger. Mezger got robbed in that fight.

I missed the Mezger Arona fight. I heard that Mezger caught him with a good shot.
