Title: Paulo Filho ready for UFC middleweight title run when Anderson Silva retires
Post by: Bluto on October 29, 2008, 10:07:19 AM
“… I think UFC is the dream of every fighter. I fought in Pride and now I wanna be at UFC so that I could say one day that I fought at the best MMA events of the world…. I think Anderson is doing the right thing. He always praises me, wants the best for me, and said we wouldn’t fight me, he’s the best, and I don’t wanna fight him too. I think he’ll go up (to light-heavyweight) and until then I’ll go there and when I get closer to the title, he’d be already retired. He already done a lot for the sport, and we they have a lot of great athletes there and I can’t let this opportunity go away, it’ll be a better motivation, show the Paulăo from the Pride GP. The problem in this depression moment was motivation, it was a very complicated moment, but now things are better and I can show my best game.”

Way way way overrated. For anyone that saw him defend his title on WEC against Sonnen, hes intimidating looking and good on the ground but thats all. A decent fighter dominated him for two rounds until he somehow won the fight on a phantom armbar submission. He's not in Anderson's universe and I dont think he's better than any of the other top flight middle weights in the UFC.

after seeing him not make weight and still lose to sonnen last night...it's pretty much over for him.  He just made a giant financial mistake by not making weight for a title fight.

What a waste, he didn`t make weight because he knew he would lose the belt. WEC should strip him of the belt, as a champion, making weight should be a requirement! JMHO

BTW, Silva would kill him, no contest.
