Ricardo Arona didn’t fight for more than two years, but he came back winning on Bitetti Combat, that happened on September, in Maracanãzinho, Rio de Janeiro. Besides the victory and the proposals recieved after the triumph, an injury on the knee may posptponed the plans to return to the rings. “My knee’s ligament was totally broke, it’s serious“, revealed Arona, talking with TATAME, that he may pass thru the surgery table.

“I’m coming from the doctor now, deciding what to do with my knee. I’ll have to stop for a while, maybe I’ll have to make a surgery... If I’ll make the surgery, will be for now“, said the though guy, explaining how did he get hurt. “I had a serious injury that got worse during the fight, when my foot got stucked on the grid. It was the only thing that went wrong and caused a lot of trouble“, said the ex Pride’s fighter, who was rated to sign with Strikeforce. “I couldn’t close any contracts because of that“, finished.
