Always thought it was odd that Arona didn't do much after Pride. I guess maybe he felt he wouldn't be as effective away from Pride's "unorthodox" drug testing methods. Maybe injuries had built up too much. I also remember hearing that he just spent his time after Pride surfing and enjoying that lifestyle.
Fumbled his legacy? I'm sorry, but what the fuck are you talking about? Not fighting Tom Aspinall automatically negates beating Shogun, Rampage, Chael Sonnen, Vitor, Machida, Gustaffson, Cormier, etc.?
I'm sorry, but some of you haven't been watching MMA very long and it shows.
Ability is still there, I think they're chasing money, headlines, big fight. It's so weird Jon Jones ever retired there's a 40+ year old Aaron Rodger's somehow still playing
