For Paulo Thiago it's 'just one more chance' to 'kill or be killed'

Quoteworthy:
"I think if I lose I'm out. I have to train all that has to be trained, going back over [my performances] to see what is going wrong. I am just training hard and waiting for my next fight, they still have not told me anything about my next fight. Now I am waiting to see who it is. Now it's kill or be killed, just one more chance."
Paulo Thiago knows he can't afford to lose another fight, despite the fact that he just recently signed a four fight contract with the UFC. He's now lost two in a row, to Martin Kampmann and Diego Sanchez respectively, and he patiently awaits his next chance to prove himself to the increasingly difficult to please Dana White. His fight with Sanchez earned him a hefty "Fight of the Night" bonus and no doubt aided in the decision to keep him around. There's been no word yet on who his next opponent is but it's widely speculated that it could be his last dance in the famed Octagon. Who would you like to see the Brazilian special forces officer take on next? If he loses, should he face the firing squad? Don't hold back, Maniacs.

interesting to see who he fights next
Matt Brown?Has he been cut?
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
Brown
was not cut. Jon Anik originally reported that he was but that has since been refuted by Ariel Helwani who said it came straight from the UFC that he has not been cut.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.

I would say
Put him through the Chris Lytle test, but he’s all set to get whupped by Carlos Condit. There’s no reason to rank him outside of the top 20 just because Diego remembered how to fight. Let’s see if Dennis Hallman’s comeback is real (he told Ariel Helwani something about a change in gluten diet). Or whether Mike Pyle’s defeat of Hathaway indicates anything.
I think he’ll beat whoever else is up for elimination that he’s put up against.
Thiago vs Pyle
lets get it on!
Fights aren't fought by keyboard warriors, they are fought by true champions like danago.

+1
Pyle is a fag, and deserves a beating for being such a bad winner after the Hathaway fight.
I would love to see Paulo destroy him.

He doesn't deserve to get cut...
He’s proven that he’s talented. He maybe got pushed to the top too soon, put too much pressure on himself. Even his coaches (after the Sanchez fight I believe) said he’s had a tough time dealing with the pressure. I think if he loses next fight, give him a fair undercard or two and see how he does.
i fricken love paulo..
i would be sad if he lost the next fight..i think he is a kick ass guy..and he won my heart the moment he knocked kos out..lol..he’s just a real guy and he does have talent..please win!!
oh..and don’t get killed on the job either!!
exactly! Anybody who KOs Kos should get a lifetime "Good Samaritans" contract!
after all, somebody’s gotta take out the garbage…and you need a landfill for all of Kos’s bullshit.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
This guy has only fought top end talent and done well
No way should he be cut, give him a bounce back fight that he can build some momemtum on.
Love watching this guy fight
May be if he dedicated all his time to training instead of splitting it with his other work as a special ops officer, he could be a much better fighter and possibly contender for the title. Oh well, you do what you love i guess.
Paulo Thiago
Introduced me to alpha blondy when he walked out to the song Politiki before he scrambled Koschek’s eggs. Awesome he listens to reggae and is a cop too

Anybody else think that all these cuts are bullshit it’s like they want them to put it on the line but if they do and get unlucky their gone it just has a negative effect IMO and instead of trying to do even more shows make the ones you do of a higher quality first Dana “all about the fighters” White, just the money nothing else
