hahaha

does this mean chuck finally realized he need to expand his training from his usual camp?

So surprised this came from Chuck….He always seemed confident to make it on his own every fight to always end it with a knockout. 2 losses in a row must really change the man’s way of thinking. Would do him some good, too, he could win this.

Very unprofessional IMO. If he was friends or training partners I would understand the loyalty. I havn’t found any information citing that he has trained with W.Silva but does have a link with Gonzaga who at one point trained with Chute Box. I could be wrong, If I am, I take back my comment.

thats so funny he said that it really dosent matter much who chuck trains with because chuck is on his way out and Wanderlei Silva will destroy him and keep his losing streak going 0 for 3 baby !!!!

After such statement US would issue him a visa to come to USA?

chuck should get a hold of anderson, the actually good silva. either way filho should show up ringside on the 29th and watch in horror as wanderlei’s ugly head lands in his stupid fucking lap.

Paulo Filho has no ties with Wandi other than both being brazilian..Patrioticlly..that’s cool I respect his views..but today’s world of MMA it should criscross all boundries and ethic groups..I don’t know what being a “ho” has to do with it?? Wandi was training with Couture before he fought Gonzaga..this is a sport and business..I would understand more if they were teamates(former)..homeboys..peeps..2nd cousins..but if just because their both from Brazil..I disagree with Paulo on this one..and I’m Brazilian.

Filho=HO

If Randy would turn down Wand to help him train, becuase Chuck is an American, that would be racist…its actually pretty stupid, Werdum has helped Crocop, many other brazilians have helped amercians..i even think Frank Mir went to Brazil and trained with Filho at one point…its just an ignorant statement…either way, i think chuck will be fine on the ground if for some reason the fight goes there, but i think he will get the KO either way

I also disagree, thaz not cool , I was actually startingto like Filho but now not so much….

i hope he gets his ass handed to him by sonnen.

Ur right Gonzaga was a former chute box memeber..and that didn’t stop Wandi from training with Couture..I heard though Wandi got bad brazilian press when Forrest was going to fight Shogun..cuz he was at the gym as Forrest.

Paulo Filho is in the WEC for a reason. Let’s just leave it at that. I got $47 in my pocket is that enough for a hand job Paulo ?

What a ball bag seriously he says this crap as if he is above Americans. Go smoke a joint with the likes of Johnny Depp.

How would his statement sound if was a racial thing like.. ex: A Black Fighter says ” Im not going to train with a white boy to fight a Black man “..that is ignorant and racist.

Where is Rev. Jesse Jackson on this case for Chuck Liddell.

this fights still up in the air to me,i think silva is the better fighter but he is coming off back to back knock outs and chuck could still knock out anyone if it lands and his take down defense is probally the best out there not that vandy needs to get it to the ground.i am sure this fight ends in a knock out not sure witch one though.

[quote comment="220247"]Where is Rev. Jesse Jackson on this case for Chuck Liddell.[/quote]
ha ha. awesome

It looks like you got to this before I did, Phil. It is very unprofessional to discreminate someone because of their nationality. I really thought the sport was beyond this. As mentioned above by others, brazilians and americans have been training together for fights for years.

By his own line of logic, should the U.S. based WEC and UFC not allow non U.S. fighters to compete? Or maybe TUF should not offer to let foreign born fighters on the show to train. I like Paulo as a fighter, but his stock has definitely dropped in my books

I think Paulo is limiting himself which is stupid and anyone else that believes in this type of “NATIONALISM”…

It is not racism though, it is NATIONALISM, White people love to cry reverse racism these days…

I also think it is stupid when people chant USA! USA!

F**K NATIONALISM

But then again, how come so many people were rooting for GSP (Canada) against Kos (USA…All AMerican Wrestler etc….could it be because he is halfrican?)

Chuck is desperately looking to avoid the beating he knows he has coming. That’s a good thing though.

Because GSP is a respectful and exciting fan favorite and Kos is a boring heel?

I feel sorry for Paulo if he fights in Vegas, he will get nothing but boos if the fans know what he said.

what a FUC_ING D_CK!

filHOE is clearly just a small minded muppet

Chuck is grasping at straws trying to find a way not to loose 3 in a row. If he haden’t pissed off as many people as he has in the UFC then he might be able to train with someone there. Instead since he’s kicked most of there asses and then went on to talk smack about his past opponents there is no one that is willing to help him. He’ll probably end up pulling a Ken Shamrock and go to work for Vince McMahon.

Who really cares?

Anyway, chuck needs paulo’s help way more than paulho needs chuck. Chuck is a few losses away from being in the “washed up ” category, while Filho is a rising star who probably has yet to reach his full potential.

I think that is a bite extreme. His comment was about being patriotic and loyal. I think your going a bit too far. I could understand if he said I would never help an American but he said he would help him fight another countryman.

I mean wouldnt help him fight against another…

he should have just said no and kept his mouth shout.

This is just funny, but stupid.

That is just my example of if he said same thing but with a race being the issue..taht is how it would sound.

I wasn’t going to comment about this article but after reading everyone else’s comments I feel like I need to voice my opinion too.

Honestly, who cares? Filho is one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world, anyone who cares to disagree should check out any promotion other than the UFC sometime. I mean it’s true that the UFC has some of the best fighters in the world, but not all of them and Filho is in that category (as well as Kang).

Whoever’s idea it was about Filho not getting a VISA…are you kidding me?! Yea you’re probably right, the US government will deny Filho a VISA because he doesn’t want to be the Chuck’s sparring partner…HA

And for those of you who think Paulo Filho is in the WEC because he isn’t good enough for the UFC… IMO besides Hendo, Filho is the only guy in the world who has a shot against ASilva at MW.

The only bad thing that will come from all this is that stubborn Americans will all start hating on the Brazilians now…come on people…do you really care that much if Filho wants to train with Chuck or not?

i think you summed it all up there,but he should have said nothing it would have been better for him.

in the above thread..I see Wandi is rolling with(really looks like him) Filho..maybe they are boys..but that was still something so dumb to say.

A one-sentence quote out of context. I’d like to see the whole interview, unless of course the entire interview was just a one-sentence statement.

I guess Paulo doesn’t train with Gonzaga at team link.

OUCH!!!

No worries, Chuck is a grown man and I’m sure he’s been shot down before, I don’t think he’s losing sleep about it.
He’s got some real good sparring partners right now. It’s the jiu-jitsu he may have problems with, I don’t think it’s Wanderlei’s game plan to stand and throw, he may in fact try to catch Chuck off guard and go for a takedown. Either way I believe Ice will take Wandy out!

[quote post="4039"]The only bad thing that will come from all this is that stubborn Americans will all start hating on the Brazilians now…come on people…do you really care that much if Filho wants to train with Chuck or not?[/quote]

IMO the issue is that he won’t train with an American vs. a Brazilian. People should not bias off of nationality. This is as stupid as when people jump on the bandwagon of a fighter just becasue he is the same nationality or the tools who chant “USA”. Being patriotic is great, having pride from where you are from is fantastic, but to make a distinction based purely off nationality is quite ignorant. Okay, off my soap box now.

I dont think it has anything to do with him knowing Wandy, or professionalism. He is proud of his home country and would never help someone from another country defeat someone from his own country. ANd it wasnt like he had anything against Chuck personally. Its just a matter of nationality.

Working collaboratively with M-1 Global and now HERO’S parent company Fight Entertainment Group, the New Year’s Eve card at Saitama Super Arena will see two time HERO’S 154-pound champion Gesias Calvancante (Pictures) take on Shooto world champion Shinya Aoki (Pictures), while current DEEP champion Hidehiko Hasegawa (Pictures) will take on Hayato “Mach” Sakurai.

Monte cox has been working with nobuhiko Takada to put this card together..I really wantto see Gesias “JZ” fight against shinya akoi! Well the UFC lost Mach Sakura…I wonder how bad Dana White tried to low ball him.

Anyone have any clue as to when, and where takanori Gomi will fight next? Has he even fought since PRIDE?

I didnt Know Mac Danzig Held the Lightweight title in KOTC.

I just watched anderson Silva beat hyato Mach Sakurai on daily motion…Does anyone know what organization that fight took place in?

Chuck wanted to bring Filho in to work on his BJJ. Chuck is actually adjusting his training regiman this time around, and ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!!

Actually, I remember seeing a video at youtube with filho dissing wandy, because wandy said something when filho was injured and could not fight at pride’s tournament. He was really pissed off too, so I’m pretty sure they’re not boys, and it’s really just a patriot thing. Who cares, really. F… it, some fighters say good things, others say silly things. Everyone has a different personality, and this is his. He will eat his words one day when an american fighter chooses not to train with him for an important fight (he is training with napão at teamlink).

I can’t really blame Filho for thinking that, but he went a little to far with the slut and prostitute thing. Was’t necessary.

a true patriot. good for him.

[quote comment="220247"]Where is Rev. Jesse Jackson on this case for Chuck Liddell.[/quote]
Lol, Does anyione else get the feeling that Filho spit on the ground after he made that comment. Ha! If Filho has such a distaste for Americans he may wanna find somewhere else to live and work. Probably should give back all that filthy American money as well. There’s nothing wrong with a little national pride but… maybe something was lost in translation. I’m glad to see Chuck expanding his horizons. There are alot of great BJJ training camps- Renzo Gracie?

ask anderson silva he might be more than glad to help chuck beat on wanderli

You know, I was just going through the interview in Portuguese and I have to point something that was not quoted here. The correct translations is as follows:

“Yes, I was invited but did not accept. I would never train an American to defeat a Brazilian. I’m not a ho, a prostitute. It’s us against the gringos. I’ve just come from there [US] and I’ve seen that the American athlete has everything he needs [to train], and here in Brazil it is the total opposite. So why should I train with the Americans? I’m Brazilian “till I die.”

The reason he does not want to train with chuck is not just because he is American, it is because he feels Americans have better training facilities, which the Brazilians do not have. This is how he feels, but I don’t know why this matters in this case, since wandy is training at extreme couture…

The guy is just being patriotic, nothing wrong with that. How many times have we heard the football style chants of USA from the crowd when the opponent in the ring has been non American.

[quote comment="220247"]Where is Rev. Jesse Jackson on this case for Chuck Liddell.[/quote]

jesse don’t give a shit for the white man!

paulho is a tough dude, but at the same time he is a bitch. Wandi has dissed him a few times in the past. I think he said that if Paulho can’t get someone to the ground then he can’t beat them. I really hope Filho and Silva get to fight soon. It would be a great fight and I would hope Anderson would knock him out.

In the words of Rodney King:

“Can’t we just all get along”?

Disappointing comments imo…it should never be about background, but we all already know this though. I guess he doesn’t.

Yeah that was pretty stupid all he had to say was no and that would have been the end of it. Wanderlei wouldn’t have acted like that this dude is a fucking retard. I guess that is the difference between a classy guy and an idiot.

There is no way to prepare for wandy in the first place because he is unpredictable. He is so wild I don’t think even he knows what he is going to do.

Filho is just pist because “”"”"”"”he has a tatoo of chuck on his arm”"”"”".. did anybody else look at it.. it looks like chuck…LMAO

How could that not have anything to do with professionalism, if this were a baseball or football player..the media would eat this guy for breakfast. If he was more mainstream he wouldn’t being saying such things. It has everything to do with professionalism. I do see how any of my comments refer to him not liking Chuck.

The wec event on the 12th looks really good the main card anyway, I’m definetly checking it out.
Faber over curran- Faber is too good,strong,and crafty
I’ve seen quite a bit of Fabers fights, I’m definetly a fan.
Paulo and chael sonnen should be excellent I like both the sonnen-karo fight in the ufc was classic.
but I hope Paulo wins to increase the chance of him coming to the UFC.
Cub Swanson and Jens Pulver is the fight I’m most excited about I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all of Cubs fights and I’m going for him against pulver.

All this moron did was cost himself a good paycheck. Just say no and move on. He may be proud of his home country, this would be racist if an American did something like this.

since the wec is basically like the minor league for the ufc, paulo needs to jump up and take a crack at anderson. i seen paulo fight once in pride and he looked pretty good, but i saw anderson fight a few times in pride and all his ufc fights and he gets better every fight and he was bad ass in the first pride fight i saw him in. anderson sliva= best 185 lb. in the world if not the best pound for pound fighter in the world
