During an interview given in the show Combate from SporTV last weekend, Ricardo Arona had no doubts when asked about a possible fight against his team mate Rog?rio Minotouro: "Minotouro is my brother, we train together in the same team. There is no possibility of me trading punches with him. If we face each other in a stage or in the GP finals we will do something beautiful, but we won?t get it on", assured Arona.
In the case of a fight against his ex-team mate V?tor Belfort, Arona said that professionalism will prevail. "Inspite the fact that we have trained together during our time with Carlson and then in the BTT, today Belfort represents another team. I?ll face the fight with professionalismo and I hope that he also does it", he resumed. Bebeo Duarte, the only BTT leader that has not gone with the team to Japan, said that the team still has not taken a position regarding a possible fight between Arona and Minotouro.
- We will work backstage so that this fight Minotouro x Arona only occurs in the GP finals. This would be a minor issue. But in case they have to fight sooner, we will have to decide what to do. We still haven?t thought about it. On the other hand, in case of a fight against Vitor, there?s all that affective side, but he?s a man to be beaten just like any other. As Arona put himself, we will face it professionally and we hope that he does the same - explains Bebeo.
Arona is definately one of my favourite fighters, I really hope that he can take the GP as I feel he has the skills to do so, if not now then definately after improvements and at some point in his career.
