He says he has no interest in fighting Silva even though it would be one hell of a fight. Guess we'll have to wait until he gets jealous of Silva's superstardom and bigger pay checks.....[/quote] Silva would kill Filho, the only guy i want to see step up to the ufc is Razor Rob [quote comment="232659"]Filho has stated that he wants to remain in the WEC because Anderson Silva is a good friend of his.

I'm sure there are all different types of MMA fans on here, but Chael Sonnen is a respectable MMA vet who was fought in both the UFC and Bodog multiple times. He's not a scrub by any means and definitely isn't some no-name fighter. Everyone on here is entitled to they're opinions which is fine, but if you have a lot to say about the sport of MMA, do your research, become educated, follow the sport, don't just make comments because someone on the internet says someone is good. Everyone was betting on Filho because they heard he was a badass, most people on here probably have never even seen Filho fight, let alone know what the guy looks like.[/quote] I think you'll need to take this issue up with the WEC. Take a look at the promo poster, its above. There is a picture of every fighter on the main card. Except, they somehow forgot about Chael. It just shows Paulo Filho and there isn't even mention of his name on the poster. It stinks that the WEC needs to sign fighters just to take immediate title shots at Filho. That divison is so weak. I do agree with you in that Chael is a solid vet that has paid his dues. Its just a shame that the WEC showed him no respect. Great Post.

He basically did what Huerta just did. He was getting beat for basically two rounds and then he refocuses himself and finds a way to win. That right there is the heart of a true champ. Plus if the ref didnt stop the fight Chael's arm would have been broken in two. That armbar was incredibly tight. It was over. Why isnt Paulo getting any love? He basically did what Huerta just did.

I didn't know much about filho but 15-0 and how he will be a Anderson silva future opponent, I thought highly of him. Not to discredit his accomplishments but in the post fight interview Sonnen said he didn't tap and that the ref apologized to sonnen as the crowd booed the decision. Sonnen was told there will be a rematch I think Sonnen will be the champ for sure. And I agree with JN Sonnen is definetly a reprable fighter. Sonnen pretty much schooled Filho.
