Anthony Johnson: The UFC fighter came in six pounds over for his fight with Yoshiyuki Yoshida. SIX POUNDS. Was it a bad weight-cutting plan? Or maybe his 6'1" body finally saying, "No, sir, you cannot weigh 170 lbs." No matter the reason, coming in six pounds overweight for any professional fight is terrible. Coming in six pounds overweight when you are on the main card for a UFC pay-per-view, and...

Filho and Mousasi have gone back-and-forth at one another in an escalating war of words, which concluded a couple weeks ago with Mousasi calling the former WEC champion a "donkey" and accused him of taking steroids. 
 Filho denies the charge and believes that Mousasi's days as the Strikeforce light-heavyweight cham...

I don't speak idle words. If I say I can beat him, that's because I'm really capable of doing it. I have all weapons to win the fight. He's just a talented young man but he can't beat me for a while. For those people who get bothered with my opinion, I think I can win and that's that. It's his business whether he likes it or not. I'm superior in takedowns, jiu-jitsu and force. He only is ...

He might deliver his venom in soft tones but the hot shot middleweight and light heavyweight prospect responded strongly to Paulo Filho calling him out. Mousasi pointed to Filho's lousy, star-crossed career while fighting in the U.S. and told Fighters.com now that he's back in Japan, he's a kid in the candy store: "I would say he's a little donkey who is on steroids, who thinks he's a ru...

He doesn't have my strength, he doesn't have my level on the ground. He can be a better striker, but he doesn't have my strength and he'll go down once and be submitted", guarantees Filho, commenting Mousasi's fight against Sobral.

The highly regarded fighter will take on TUF 1 cast member Alex Schoenauer.
 First though, Filho will compete on the DREAM 10 fight card against dangerous Dutch striker Melvin Manhoef.
