Without fighting since April 2007, Ricardo Arona has been following the MMA events since then, specially the UFC, where his Pride time rival, Wanderlei Silva, is coming from a great victory against Keith Jardine. “I have said before that if Wanderlei gets to the fight hungry, he’d knock Jardine out quickly. Jardine’s style is something I like to face, I go there and take him down when I want to, and I knew that’s the perfect game for Wanderlei too. Jardine came closer to him and that were the perfect fight for Wanderlei, Keith has no game to defeat him”, said Arona, who analyzed Silva’s next fight in UFC, against his Pride time rival, Quinton Rampage Jackson.

“Quinton is a great fighter, but only when he’s doing well in the fight. When he fights someone like me or Wanderlei he doesn’t like it, tries the takedowns and get lost. Wanderlei needs to do the same gameplan, doesn’t need to change anything. Quinton has a fucking hand, if he hits you, you’ll feel it, but it’s the perfect game for Wanderlei”. Preparing his back to the rings for 2009, Ricardo Arona had a long chat with TATAME and spoke about the event proposals he received, Brazilian Top Team, UFC, his rivals and a lot more. The result of this exclusive chat you can check in TATAME’s October issue. Stay tuned!
