Tatame.....

The Brazilian athlete Ricardo Arona has just announced an open challenge to Pride GP's champion Wanderlei Silva. Published in a local newspaper in Brazil (Jornal dos Sports), Arona sent a message to Wanderlei. "I am happy you won the GP. First of all because you are Brazilian like me and second of all because I wanna be the first one to beat you at Pride," stated Arona. The BTT's athlete was out of the GP due to a injured and now he confirms he is recovered and ready to face the Pride Champion.

seems to me he pretty much side-stepped fighting 3 people in the GP, to just challenge whoever came out on top...could be wrong though, who knows.

silva by bloody rape

Arona will easly shut down silvas style, sinse his style is aggresive standing, He will go for an aggersive take down and slowly stall the match over and over until winning by dec.
Arona has fast straight flurries like Belfort, but he keeps his chin up which is a no no, either way he should just avoid blocking in a downward defence like Rampage because he will eat knee.

Arona could possibly beat Silva. In fact, I think he is the only guy at 205 that could possibly beat everyone of the top guys. However, I wouldn't favour him against any of them at this point.

He has a lot of abilitys, but a lot of question marks

Silva by brutal knee.

I'd like too see arona beat silva but my instinct says silva will win.

Silva has a lot of momentum right now. Not only that but he prolly has a lot of pressure on him to perform and by looking at his recent fights Silva thrives under it. I think Silva will win by decision.
