MMA Quick Quote: Paulo Filho calls out Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua

1267198164

"I couldn’t miss the chance to challenge [Shogun]. I want to fight him and feel the pressure up close by the end of my career. That’s just something I want. Shoot, I’ve been getting lambasted on forums. Folks are acting with a lot of disrespect. But it’s what I want and I know I can make it.”

Maligned middleweight enigma Paulo Filho (19-1) shares his grand plans for the future with Graciemag.com, which include a fight against current UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua. "Ely" plans to fight four times in 2010, apparently overlooking the fact that he's pulled out of three events in the past 12 months, including a last minute withdrawal from his Bellator superfight against Hector Lombard back on May 13. Can he finally get his affairs in order and return to his past dominance? Or will he crack before ever getting the chance to fulfill his dream of fighting "Shogun?"

Fihlo's Opponent

His name is Daniel Gabriel no wonder Fihlo knows nothing about him I couldnt find anything either.

He's imaginary...

I think Daniel Gabriel is a made up name for an opponent that doesn’t exist because everyone knows that Filho isn’t showing up anyways….

Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.

Filho needs to man up and take the fight with Hector in Bellator.

Maybe he can fight Karo in a “burned bridges” match. Winner gets an invite to fight in the next Shark Fight event.

Filho has become a joke

Dude needs to 1) Actually show up for his fights, and 2) Put a few good wins together before calling out Rua. But if he did that, I doubt Dana would signed him after he screwed over the WEC by not making weight and acting all crazy in the cage.

he had potential earlier in his career

showed alot of heart in some fights, but now he’s got too many personal problems.
i wish him well

by Jesse13 on Jun 2, 2010 7:12 PM EDT reply actions  

wow! this guy shouldnt be able to pull out of fights

Cause he shouldn’t be scheduled for them in the first place. He clearly has mental issues to believe or even have to audacity to say this type of stuff.

Leg kicks are the most underrated weapon in MMA

dude is just trying to stay relevent

and failing badly at it .. this is what happens when you are desperate and need some sort of attention, you start calling out names from the side lines.. tsk tsk.

by Commoner on Jun 2, 2010 7:48 PM EDT reply actions  

im a fairly big mma fan but...

what did he do in WEC? did i miss something or forget something?

GSP is the man!

by Pour out a lil liquor on Jun 3, 2010 7:57 AM EDT up reply actions  

Missed wieght by 7 pounds for the last WEC event................

then inside the cage he was acting and saying all sorts of crazy shit towards chael sonnen, O and also the fact that he is just plain fucking nuts………..

Well, that one in the center: he had a flap holster and he was in no itchin' hurry. And the one second from the left: he had scared eyes, he wasn't gonna do nothin'. But that one on the far left: he had crazy eyes. Figured him to make the first move.

by Dragon101 on Jun 3, 2010 9:18 AM EDT up reply actions  

sonnen didnt knock filho out

he actually didnt even hit him that much because filho was pulling guard and rolling around on the ground like an idiot the entire time while sonnen was trying to fight. worst fight ever- he’ll never fight for zuffa again after that farce.

its funny to see guys at the bottom throwing rocks at the thrown..

its like a guy who just sold a few apartment buildings suddenly calling out donald trump in a real estate war

you know you're having some good sex when you start planning what you're gonna say in the 911 call afterwards...

Why would you want to get destroyed?

That makes no sense….‘yeah guys i totally want Shogun to kick my teeth in by the end of my career’ huh???

by Khaos_Warrior on Jun 3, 2010 1:03 AM EDT reply actions  

i would for sure

This is the only site I ever, ever use for fight related news. If I ever somehow made it to the show, I promise I’d be reading on here more then daily, just like I do now, and I’d comment to all the regulars under my real name, just like I do now.

Been talking to these guys a long time. I think it would be awesome to speak to them after making it. Let them fire questions, etc. Would be really cool I think. Yeah, people would hate on me, but the regulars would stick up for me, and I got thick skin, and understand for every 1 nice guy, there’s 10 or more jerks to follow.

Doesn't he have to make it to the UFC first?

Guy hasn’t done squat in 2 years and is talking about Challenging the Champion of the Premier Show. Make it to the big show first then call out the champ. I can call out Shogun to, I have been planning on fighting him for years and I think I can make the win happen. That means squat since I am no where near being UFC caliber Talent, much like Paulo!

I was a fool for ever doubting Shogun. I should be ashamed for never giving him a chance to get healthy. Shogun made Machida look B-level-Just like my bet made me look b-level!

he actually said "lambasted"?...lol

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

"superfight against Hector Lombard"

WHO? A “superfight” has to be someone that’s relatively familiar…I think I have heard of his name before..
