Gegard Mousasi: 'Paulo Filho is a little donkey on steroids'

filho-valdez

Props: Fighters.com

Quoteworthy:

"What happened when [Filho] came to America, he got beat up really bad. Now he's back in Japan and he feels like a kid in a candy story. He can use all kinds of steroids and I think the steroids have gone to his head. He didn't perform the same as he does in Japan as he does in America and now he suddenly has a big mouth again. I would say that he's a little donkey on steroids. He thinks he's a running horse but he's more like a little pony. I really believe that he used steroids. He also backed out a couple of times when he had to fight Chael Sonnen. He said he was crazy. Maybe he is crazy, I don't know. I think he wasn't feeling very good mentally because he cannot use his magic stuff. I also fight in Japan and I don't use anything. If there's an athletic commission test, he can fight me everywhere, everywhere he wants."

Newly crowned Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi fires back at former WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho, who offered to fight "The Dreamcatcher" for no salary just to prove that he's no good. With a new-found alliance between DREAM and Strikeforce, could we possibly see these two settle their differences inside the ring? And if so, who takes it?

MOusasi is awesome! It sickens me that the UFC NEVER made him an offer…that came straight from mousasi’s mouth

by john G on Sep 8, 2009 12:27 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

agree john it leaves a vile taste in my mouth, ufc would of been such a better home for mousasi, i would give anything to see him go against silva or machida,

anyone know how many fights he is signed to strike force with, or how many he has left under M1 contract, i Know fedor has 4 fights left with his M1 contract then he is free to leave them and i think one of those fights could be counted in his exhibition match against Mousasi last week ( which i was at and it was sick) which means luckily after fedors 3 fight deal is done in strike force he could realistically leave M1 and strikeforce to join UFC

by CoNr on Sep 8, 2009 7:44 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

they made him an offer and M1 lied to him about it.

by jay on Sep 8, 2009 9:06 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

he only has 1 or 2 more fights left on his current contract.

by jay on Sep 8, 2009 9:07 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Are either of those posts true jay, or just speculation?

He could just aswell be talking about Overeem.

I hate that steroid clown.

overeem is such a pussy..

by guyverbob on Sep 7, 2009 5:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I love how people are still thinking it is all natural it is so obvious he is on the roids

by Shadow side on Sep 7, 2009 5:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

of course, you don’t just grow like that when your that age…

Proof?

by NameNotRequired on Sep 7, 2009 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

there is no proof sadley, but its like when a man’s wife is murdered and he ends up in mexico with a beard and different colored hair. you’ve got to assume hes guilty, and at the very least it does’nt look good for you..

by guyverbob on Sep 7, 2009 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It is only speculation on my part but my position is based off of the time table in 2008 no one can gain that much muscle in a year without roids and also he was 15 to 20 pounds heaver 3 months after fighting Cro Cop when he fought Badr Hari in K-1 this is not normal muscle growth and also he seems to be avoiding fighting in the US

by Shadow side on Sep 7, 2009 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you know what happens when u assume things? u make an a$$ out of u and me

lol, i can’t remember what film that is off?

by ufcaddict on Sep 7, 2009 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Overeem weighed in a 248.1lbs at Dream then 253.5 at K1 Dynamite. The pictures are deceiving especially that fan made chart.

His horrible cardio and tendency to self destruct in the middle of fights has long been associated with the amount of weight he use to cut to get to 205. He use to be a giant LHW much like forrest (hell even bigger). He just happens to be bulking up now and doing weight training instead of trying to stay lean like back in the day to make the lower weight class.

He’s not fighting for Strikeforce because K-1 and Dream pay him a sh!t ton more money. Also not to mention the prize/money for winning the K1 WGP.

What else do you guys have?

by NameNotRequired on Sep 7, 2009 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

no, namenotrequired is the only guy that makes himself look like an a$$! I mean, not only is it hard to gain muscle mass as you get older but to even have a body like that from the start is quite amazing and literally unbelivable…

the only thing you need is to be normal and not live in a dream world of denial… Since there’s no testing for roids in Japan it’s free to do it anyway, its not like Overeem is the only one!

by RoB on Sep 7, 2009 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree NNR he should stay in K1 in Strikeforce he would most likely lose to any potential challenger Werdum, AA, Fedor or Rogers.

by Beaver on Sep 8, 2009 12:42 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

When I graduated from High School I weighed 145lbs(in shape). Five years later when I came out of the military I was 220lbs ripped and have never touched steroids in my life. I’m not defending these guys because alot of them are juicin but you can’t just look at a guys body and say he’s on steroids because he’s muscular. Not true.

by knowone on Sep 8, 2009 1:15 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You probably went into the military at 18 or so. With Boy Muscles. 5 years later, heading toward your mid 20’s peak physical condition, where you go from boy muscles to man muscles is huge. That is not unheard of at all. I see it all the time people go to the military. Depending what you did in the service you were probably eating, living, and shyting a military workout! He is now almost 30. On the tail end of his body pushing itself. Normal pro athletes start to break/slow down at this age. Baseball, football, basketball, the 30’s are a period of slowing down, with the obvious few exceptions. There is a huge difference between 25 and 30. I am 33 now and I feel entirely different then I did when I was 30. It is not natural to push the envelope like that. Look at Bonds. Never caught, but when was the last time you saw an ethopian frame turn in to a brick shyte in their mid 30’s. Proof no, but the possibilities are most def. there.

Rob – Thanks for all the proof and all the “science” you’ve provided us. Now there is no denying that he roids up. Do your research, watch more MMA, and be less of a douche bag- That’s my advice. You guys are actually unbelievable. From what i’ve seen everything adds up just fine and until i see that failed test- you’re all talkin out of your a$$es!

by NameNotRequired on Sep 8, 2009 8:41 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

NNR-

Your MMA knowledge is solid and I respect your posts.

However, you are dead wrong on this one.

It is obvious that Overeem’s muscle gain is anything but natural.

by OJR on Sep 8, 2009 9:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It could’t be anymore obvious if he held up a sign!

by attakdog on Sep 8, 2009 9:02 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

K-Dog,

Off topic :

Rampage is not fighting? To star in a crappy movie?

Wow. Who is fighting Rashad? Is it being postponed?

DW must really like Rampage as a person to allow this garbage move.

Rampage must be having financial issues if he is consistently avoiding fights in lieu of easy money.

by OJR on Sep 8, 2009 9:10 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Apparently Rampage is gonna star in the A-Team movie OJR, looks like fight’s postponed till February next year?? Dana is anything but happy about it.

I cant work it out coz I dont think he’s gonna get much more than a million for the A-Team, so not much more if anything than he would have got for fighting Rashad. Speaking of money, check out Saturdays thread on the A-Team, poor Alpha was trying to argue with about twenty of us that Rampage was gonna get $20 million for the A-Team. Oh how we laughed.

by attakdog on Sep 8, 2009 9:15 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just goes to show what a load of made up nonsense that “feud” with Rashad was. I thought wild horses wouldn’t have kept Rampage away from his date with Rashad the way he was talking, apparently not if Hollywood comes calling though.

by attakdog on Sep 8, 2009 9:18 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wow @ Alpha’s logic.

Not really surprised @ john g’s posts, either.

by OJR on Sep 8, 2009 9:22 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bless him, he thought the $130 million budget went just on actors, me and Kev did try telling him. He kept coming up with daft stories to back up his claims and digging himself a deeper and deeper hole.

John’s just embarassing the way he defends his favourite fighters, he sounds so ret@rded. It’s kind of funny waiting for him to post his BS excuses though, talk about trying to defend the indefenceable.

by attakdog on Sep 8, 2009 9:27 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

NameNotRequired – you are actually the one that needs to do some research, cause you can tell when someone’s roided like Overeem. What? do you need him to say it out loud? cause there’s zero chance he gets caught when there are no tests..

by RoBerto on Sep 8, 2009 10:58 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

just chill out and relax, everybody would use performance enhancing drugs if nobody got tested, it’s not a big deal to call ppl roiders.

by RoBerto on Sep 8, 2009 11:01 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Seriously track his weigh gain from event weigh ins. He gains at most 4 lbs in between each event dating back to strikeforce where he clocked in at 229 lbs. That fight was in 07. Are you all going to tell me it’s not possible to have muscle gain like that? All the material is available, weigh in results are public info. Eyes are misleading, but the numbers aren’t.

by NameNotRequired on Sep 8, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Mousasi meant ‘anywhere’ not ‘everywhere’… That would include a co-incidental confrontation at an MMA function. Maybe a proper ending would be Filo’s head lodged in a Men’s Public Urinal.

by DAVE A on Sep 7, 2009 6:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

roids is gonna be a serious problem in mma, and will cost the fans many fights to come. shoot im still a pissed at barnet, BOOOOO juice junkies!!!

by Blazy J on Sep 7, 2009 6:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Mousasi nailed that one. Its obvious Filho’s on steroids, though he would submit Mousasi with them in Japan. Mousasi would kill him in strikeforce though.

by Jared on Sep 7, 2009 6:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Mousasi would kill Filho.
Based on the last coupel tattoos that he got, I would have to think that Filho was back on the bad dope.

Fihlo is too slow

by PhaQ on Sep 7, 2009 6:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Mousasi all the way. And yes Filo’s body resembles that of a hardcore user.

by natedog77 on Sep 7, 2009 6:16 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

how do you mean natedog?

by nick on Sep 7, 2009 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Mousasi would own Filho any time any place. Gegard is the real deal.

by RichT on Sep 7, 2009 6:42 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Mousasi is far too much for Filho. Mousasi is genuine top 10 guy.

by UK_Chris on Sep 7, 2009 6:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Filho is the Josh Hamilton of MMA. Dude gets strung out on drugs and reappears saying he’s clean with a body full of horrible tats.

by dropnskirtz on Sep 7, 2009 6:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

normally they become “born again christians” as well

by brendan on Sep 7, 2009 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t know if it’s roids but maybe his head is back in the game, he’s had some problems recently and his showed in his performances. Regardless of the fight being in Japan or North America, I’d take Filho for the win, the guy is a tank, and from the Manhoef fight, he can take some serious punches.

by Belisarius on Sep 7, 2009 6:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

MAnhoef is not on the same level as Gegard. Manhoef is a great puncher. Gegard is a Great Striker and has a great all around game. Take a punch or not, GEGARD WINS! FATALITY!

Is that tat the Folgers logo? And if so, do I win a prize for calling that?

No you dont win a prize cause that is the Colombian Coffee logo, not Folgers…

anything to get some of that sponsor money… even if it means putting a gigantic fig newtons logo on your windshield

ha I love that movie I watched it saturday night.

by kevjack115 on Sep 7, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I dont know if he’s right but he makes sense.. either way mousasi is a great up and coming fighter, with a killer instinct should be fun to see him take on more elite fighters.

by zack on Sep 7, 2009 7:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think its funny that everyone thinks its funny for Gegard to accuse Paulo of roids but when BJ suggest that GSP is on roids then he is a complete ahole…I just dont get it…..and dont give the look at paulos body vs GSP—-Bullshit, who in mlb gets busted the most…pitchers…..and last time I looked they arent built like a brick shithouse either.

by Mark Hunts Fist on Sep 7, 2009 7:20 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

gsp fights in the states and does great, paulo looks best when hes in japan..

by guyverbob on Sep 7, 2009 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

So does Ken Shamrock and he just got caught after all these years of competing. Just cause he fights in the states dont mean shat.

by kevjack115 on Sep 7, 2009 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yea, Ken Shamrock was so over roided the first time he fought Tito that it wasn’t even funny, and I liked Ken Shamrock then.. to think that you can’t fight in the states and do roids is wrong, you know theres guys in the UFC that does it

by RoB on Sep 7, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Filho does look like he’s on roids. If anyone seen his last fight in US vs his fights in Japan there’s no doubt.

Mousasi ftw.

by Hooner on Sep 7, 2009 7:31 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow I like how its cool when Mousasi says something but when it was B.J. accusing GSP everyone was ready to crucify him.

by kevjack115 on Sep 7, 2009 8:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It’s because BJ has an excuse for everything. we are all sick of hearing crap from him.

by luke on Sep 7, 2009 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

GSP fights in organization where drug tests are mandatory, do you see him test positive? no
When u see Filho fight in US you’ll see how shitty he is without roids.

by Hooner on Sep 8, 2009 1:17 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

At least he didnt call him a donkey and then a little pony.

by kevjack115 on Sep 7, 2009 8:50 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Steroids or not, if the fight hits the ground, filho definately has a chance to sub him. But yea I would put money on mousasi

by phenomenal angel on Sep 8, 2009 12:10 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

To be fair, Paulo had a lot of trouble making 185. He’s fighting at 205 now, so maybe he was dieting hard and losing muscle mass for his fights in the states.
