Ready to make his return to the rings at Bitetti Combat 4, Ricardo Arona, who doesn’t fight since 2007, spoke with TATAME Magazine’s subscribers in an exclusive chat about the most remarkable moments int he career and the desire to go to the UFC. About the biggest event in the MMA world, Arona commented how would be a fight against the light heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida.

“He’s a guy who’s well prepared, defended Brazil well, a Kacate guy, a fight that I respect a lot, but I always had a chance to beat anyone I fought, I made tough battles and did well. I don’t have any doubt of my performance when I’m well trained, but MMA is always a surprise, it just ends when the referee stops it”, said, guaranteeing he’d do his best to get to the tops. “I wanna be well prepared to, when I get there and had to fight Lyoto, I’d go to win. He’s a great chanpion, but if I’m well trained I can beat anyone”, finished Arona.
