PAULO FILHO RUMORS & GOSSIP

At one point, Paulo Filho was considered a top 3 (perhaps the best) middleweight in the world- it was him, Matt Lindland, Anderson Silva, and Dan Henderson.  Unfortunately, Filho has been spiralling downward ever since.  The trouble began after he beat Chael Sonnen in a controversial match to defend the WEC championship.  Due to the question of whether or not Chael tapped (sound...

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...

Oh Paulo Filho, you crazy man. In life there are no certainties. Only life, death, and Paulo Filho pulling out of fights. The former WEC middleweight champ and Pride badass continues on his descent toward rock bottom. No I’m not talking about his face tattoo, and no I’m not talking about his ongoing battle with drugs. No sir, Filho keeps the ball a tumbling, this time...

I’ve been waiting for a picture to post this, but I have one, and it’s glorious. Ladies and Gentlemen, say hello to Paulo Filho’s face tattoo. Filho’s life continues to be a complete train wreck. Now, that he has gotten this tat, is there any way to avoid comparing him to Mike Tyson? Paulo is a huge Mike Tyson fan, and that probably has a lot to do with why...

No one was surprised when we found out that Paulo Filho backed out of his fight at Bitetti Combat last night. However, most assumed that Filho was still suffering from emotional problems that have haunted him for years, but according to Filho, the problem was with money, not his mind. From Tatame: “What happened was this, we never came to a financial agreement. Their offer...

"We didn’t have a financial agreement. The purse was too low comparing from what I’m used to receiving and it’s bad for the fighter’s career. [The media] said I’m having problems with drugs and medicines … You can test me and you’ll see … I’m great. I’m not worried with fighting in Brazil anymore. I like the...

Last night was the long-awaited rematch between Paulo Filho and Chael Sonnen, Unfortunately Filho didn't really look like he wanted to be there, despite the fact that he was the undefeated WEC Middleweight Champion. It was disrespectful to himself, his opponent, the sport and its fans.

Awesome WEC 31 fight with Paulo Filho with a controversial ending!
