Found May 12, 2010 on Hammer Fisted:

Nothing makes a person look less crazy than a bunch of puppies...

Poor Paulo Filho. I can’t tell if the guy is trying to right the ship or if he is just jumping repeatedly in the same spot trying to sink the damn thing. The guy signs on to fight Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard, a step in the right direction. Then pulls out only a few days before the fight, which is about 5 steps in the wrong direction. I dunno maybe he has a good reason. Let’s have a looksie at what Paulo had to say about his recent withdrawal from his Bellator 18 super fight and go all FJM stylee on it. Because there’s no way this whole pulling out thing is his fault, right?

Honestly, I don’t know. I think maybe people knew I was in a good shape, strong, so they got scared…

People tend to be scared of individuals on a PCP high. Their strength is incredible. Just ask those police officers involved in the Rodney King beating.

In fact, I’ve been informed it was a mistake of the event, which didn’t gave me the letter so I could take it to the council.

Blaming others? Doesn’t rule #1 of Narcotics Anonymous have something to do with taking responsibility for your actions. Or denial? Or something like that? Granted I do the same thing from time to time. “Well there’s no reason that little child should have been in the cross walk. What do you mean it was a red light and there’s no turn on red? She had no business being there. Shouldn’t she be in school? What? It’s Saturday?!?! No that’s not alcohol on my breathe…”

My biggest concern is that people start to think that my absences are because of other things better than from what it actually is…

You mean like because of drugs?

I didn’t fight on Bitetti Combat for reasons between me and the organization and it came out on Sherdog that I was doing drugs and medicines once again. I fear that people actually believes that…

Well given your previous record of drugging, the thought had crossed my mind.

It was everything going pretty good, but there’s always something to get in the way.

That thing, it’s you bud…

My fight schedule is full, three fights within 20 days on July.

Uh, what the f-ck commission is going to sanction that? You participating in bum fights? Please say bum fights…

The first is on the 3rd, the second on the 10th and against a guy who has fought with (José) Pelé, and the third I think is between Marvin Eastman or Denis Kang, on 18th

My guess is that the rationale goes as follows. Schedule 3 fights closely around one another and he’s bound to actually show up and fight in one. Right? I mean he’d have to fight in at least one. Then again this is Paulo Filho, so you never know…
