Quoteworthy:

"Expecting to settle a deal with UFC, the BTT black Belt Ricardo Arona, that don't fight since April 8, when he was defeated by the Camaroonean Thierry Romeau Sokoudjou at Pride 34, will teach in a seminary for the Rafael Haubert pupils at the Brazilian Top Team filial at Barcelona, Spain. BJJ Mundial champion and ADCC champion, Arona will pass his knowledge at next October 6."

-- PRIDE FC 205-pound standout, Ricardo Arona, is apparently in contract talks with the UFC. The Brazilian would be a fantastic addition to the light heavyweight division -- Arona has competed against and defeated some of the most talented fighters in the sport.
