Media Yall remember Paulo Filho??

[Tweak896]

Its bizarre to see someone so dominant just check out and never come back mentally. It was such a sharp reversal in his career. You would think that he would of had more in his tank but had to be the biggest nose dive in a career, he wasn't even that old.

The crazy thing is his failed weigh in in the second fight with Chael made the fight not for the belt and denied CS the a major organization championship

I know he gave him the belt but didn’t count between that and Silva Hail Mary CS had some tough luck to getting a belt

 

[Doctor Grudge]

First ever 2 vs 1 MMA fight in a prime time organization.

I was cracking up while watching that fight since Frank Mir kept going "WHAT IS PAULO LOOKING AT?!"

His second fight with Sonnen is one of the weirdest moments in MMA history.

It was the first 2 on one fight featuring a ghost

 

[Westbrick]

Filho was as hyped as Arona in Brasil, potential GOAT, but he had some psychological problems.

Which is so dumb bc dinner should have still been eligible to win the title bc he made weight.

Paulo finally exorcised his demons, then more recently, got fat.

His demons were cocaine, rohypnol, ripped fuel, and depression.

After a tumultuous decade, Paulo Filho has finally exorcised his demons

Depression, dogs and drugs: Former WEC champion Paulo Filho opens up about hitting rock bottom over the past decade, and those many times he contemplated ending it all.

Wasn't he on drugs or something?

It was a long time ago. The standard for how to deal with champs missing weight wasn't ironed out well.

 

[Fishmonger]

So weird.

He was a beast too. Sad, maybe CTE?

that is an interesting and (probable) cause that shouldn't be discounted, man

with that said, if i'm accurately recalling, he had his troubles w meds (maybe, painkillers,) which were the cited explanation when there was coverage on the incident shortly after the fight

Wasn’t he high as kite on pain killers?

Straight up handicap match. He was fighting both the spirits, and Chael P at the same time.

I totally forgot about him, I just remember that people were so hyped for him to come to UFC and just watching him lose to everyone. I didn't know that was the reason, that is sad.
