Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog |
Paulo Fernando de Souza Leite Filho, better known as simply Paulo Filho (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpawlu ˈfiʎu]; born May 24, 1978), is a Brazilian mixed martial artist as well as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo practitioner, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Filho was the last WEC middleweight champion, and is often compared (in fighting style and appearance) to his former teammate Ricardo Arona.[1]
Mixed martial arts career
PRIDE Fighting Championships
During his stint in PRIDE, Filho was the only undefeated entrant in the 2006 PRIDE Welterweight Grand Prix, but he did not win the tournament as an injury kept him from the tournament finals. In the semi-finals of the tournament on PRIDE Bushido 13, November 5, 2006, Filho defeated Kazuo Misaki by armbar. Unfortunately, Filho suffered a ruptured membrane in his knee during the fight, forcing him to withdraw from the Grand Prix finals match against Denis Kang, who also suffered injury with a torn biceps in the semi-finals.[2] Filho was replaced by Misaki, who went on to defeat an already injured Kang and claim the Grand Prix title. He has no past jiu jitsu experience.
Filho's most notable wins include Kazuo Misaki, Amar Suloev and Yuki Kondo, as well as Murilo Rua and Ikuhisa Minowa.
World Extreme Cagefighting
He signed with the WEC and fought for the vacant middleweight title on August 5, 2007, at WEC 29. Filho defeated Canadian jiu-jitsu fighter Joe Doerksen via TKO (strikes) at 4:07 of the first round. His first title defense occurred at WEC 31, where he was awarded a controversial win over 2-time National Wrestling Champion Chael Sonnen by armbar at 4:55 in the second round. Due to controversy stemming from the fight stoppage (Sonnen tapped, then changed his mind. Sonnen's screams of pain were taken as a verbal submission by the referee, despite his objections). Filho was scheduled to face Sonnen again at WEC 33. However, Filho pulled out of this bout because he had checked into a substance abuse rehab facility.[3] Filho faced Sonnen at WEC 36 on November 5 live on Versus. Filho missed weight for this match, however the contest went ahead as a non-title three round fight.[4][5] Sonnen dominated the fight and took a unanimous decision victory. Throughout the fight Filho seemed disturbed, disoriented, and confused.[6]
DREAM
Filho made his DREAM debut on July 20, 2009, when he took on light heavyweight Melvin Manhoef at DREAM.10 in Saitama, Japan. Filho showed great perseverance and a good chin in the fight, weathering an onslaught of strikes from the dangerous Manhoef before executing a powerful takedown that immediately put him in half guard, from which he then swiftly transitioned into a full mount whilst at the same time trapping Melvin's left arm; he quickly secured an armbar to win the bout in the first round.
Filho was scheduled to face Yoon Dong-Sik on October 25, 2009, at DREAM.12,[7] but failed to show up and was replaced on the card.[8]
Bitteti Combat
Filho made his debut in one of Brazil's top promotions, Bitetti Combat, on September 12, 2009, at Bitetti Combat MMA 4 against Argentina's top MMA fighter Alex Schoenauer. Filho controlled throughout the whole fight and pulled off a unanimous decision. He then fought Tatsuhiko Nishizaka on December 12, 2009, at Bitetti Combat MMA 5. He easily took the fight to the ground, controlled and secured a Kimura in the very first round.
He was scheduled to fight Yuki Sasaki in the main event at Bitetti Combat MMA 6 on February 25, 2010, but it was announced on February 22 that he had withdrawn from the bout due to "personal problems". Later that day, it was confirmed that Filho would in fact be fighting Sasaki. Filho then failed to show for the event's weigh-in, forcing a last minute cancellation of his bout with Sasaki.[9]
Bellator Fighting Championships
Filho was scheduled to face Bellator Fighting Championships Middleweight champion Hector Lombard in a non-title bout on May 13, 2010, at Bellator 18,[10] but Filho pulled out of the bout due to alleged visa issues and was replaced by Jay Silva.[11]
Future
Filho made his heavyweight debut and defeated Chilean newcomer Daniel Gabriel on June 4, 2010, via first-round submission due to strikes.[12] Filho faced Denis Kang on July 17, 2010, for the Australian based promotion Impact Fighting Championships.[13] They fought to a draw.
