That 2005 Middleweight Grand Prix run was incredible

Arona was always on the wrong end of this kind of shit lol

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.

Arona was ahead of his time with the wrestling/BJJ style, but Brazilians of that era was 30% human and 70% steroids, that's gotta take it's toll.

Anyone here remember the old-school highlight guys, like bigrys, krikit, pål or kyho?

Looks like he is unretired? He's back in the testing pool.

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.

That and failing multiple drug tests

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

Haha he probably wants on that White House card now. That would actually be pretty sick
