Paulo Filho

Lack of respect!

Paulo came in 7 pounds over. That is not a misjudgment in training or drinking too much water, that is a straight up "I don't care".

The former training partner of Anderson Silva has nothing to lose, except part of his purse.
The fight will not be for the title that is going exist after this fight anyway with WEC dropping his weight class. It will be for........wait for it.................. Pride?

No, pride is shown from preparation and respect for your opponent. The life of an MMA fighter is one: train, two: make weight, three: fight.

I am sure that Paulo Filho is going to show up. He's a top 3 185er, as reported by most publications and internet sites, as he moves on to the UFC.

However, as I tell my kids at school when they don't follow the rules, that is not okay. Respect the game. Respect your opponent.

Though as a side note, Gina Carano never makes weight either......... and I never complain.
