Considered one of the best fighters in the world not yet under contract, former Pride fighter Ricardo Arona has not yet decided where his new home will be. Not having fought since the eighth of April, 2007, when he was knocked out by Cameroonian Thierry Sokodjou, the Carioca is still studying the best offer for putting his MMA career back on track.
The name Arona has already been linked to countless rumors as of late, including having his picture posted on an M-1 Global poster that had him as one of the fighters to fight at Yarennoka, the event that took place on December 31st of last year.
The most recent speculation was that the fighter had signed with Cage Rage, and therefore GRACIEMAG.com went after the black belt to clear things up. “I haven’t signed with anyone yet. To tell you the truth I Cage Rage hasn’t even come after me. I received some contract proposals from the United States and Japan, but I’m analyzing things with a cool head. I’m back to training hard, here in Niteroi and I will soon have news about my future,” said Arona.
